Does anyone know / has had to deal with intense anxiety after getting sober? If so what helps for you?

Yes I went through a long period of bad anxiety and panic attacks after getting sober. I worked with a therapist and psychiatrist. It helped changing my mindset. I had to leave the past behind. The book "the power of now" helped me a lot. Also getting out of the house as much as possible is helpful.

Thank you so much for the advice it’s been a pretty rough past couple of months and I’ve tried various different ways to try to coupe with my anxiety without having to use substances

For me it's lots of exercise. Hit the gym and sauna after. Makes my day go much smoother. Much more anxious on days I can't exercise.
