Do you find yourself reaching for a drink when anxiety creeps in? You’re not alone. Alcohol might seem like a quick fix for anxiety, but it actually makes things worse in the long run. The good news? There are healthier, more effective ways to manage anxiety that truly support your sobriety.

In this episode of the Quit Drinking Alcohol Podcast, we’ll explore the relationship between alcohol and anxiety, why alcohol isn’t the solution, and practical tools you can use to manage anxiety without taking a drink.

• How alcohol affects anxiety and why it increases stress over time.
• The cycle of anxiety and drinking—and how to break free from it.
• Practical, actionable strategies for managing anxiety in a healthy way, including mindfulness, breathing exercises, physical activity, and journaling.

I’ll also share my personal experience with managing anxiety after quitting alcohol and how developing healthier coping mechanisms changed everything.

Check out Episode 18, where we explore how to build self-esteem in sobriety and reclaim your confidence.
