Text Me!

Feeling anxious after a drink or even the next morning? You’re not imagining it. Alcohol might feel calming in the moment, but it actually triggers your body’s stress response and keeps you stuck in an anxiety loop.

In episode 245 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I break down the science behind alcohol-induced anxiety and share practical ways to soothe your nervous system without reaching for a drink. You’ll learn how to replace the alcohol ritual with nourishing, calming alternatives that truly bring relief.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

  •  Why alcohol spikes cortisol and worsens anxiety
  •  How drinking to relax creates a cycle of stress and poor sleep
  •  Calming, healthy drinks that actually help—herbal teas, adaptogenic tonics, CBD seltzers, and electrolyte mocktails
  •  Simple daily habits to shift from anxious to grounded
  •  How support inside the Sobriety Circle helps you build real calm and confidence

If you’re ready to break free from the alcohol-anxiety cycle and find peace that lasts, this episode will give you the science, the swaps, and the support to do it.
