Yesterday I had a panic attack at work. I turned to alcohol after work to find relief. I didn't find relief, but I did find this app. Today I begin my sober journey a new.

Welcome Stewart! Recognizing that alcohol doesn't resolve any of long term stressors, anxiety and life problems is a wonderful first step. Congrats for starting your sober journey, it has been a transformational change for me

I had those all the time the last year or so. I didn’t know what was causing it. I went to therapy and got medication and all sorts of crazy stuff. No booz helps me and AA. People I can relate to helps. Good luck on the journey

You’re not alone. I had a similar experience yesterday with alcohol and it was like trying to put a band aid on a broken arm lol
I’m new to sobriety and I’ve been told it gets better the farther we get in our own journeys. Hang in there ❤️🩹

Welcome and glad you found this app … I suffer from anxiety and I to use alcohol to calm my nerves… when I mentioned this to my doctor he said alcohol is horrible for anxiety.. he yelled at And gave me some meds to calm me down and I take them and I do relax … maybe you need to talk to your doctor… the anxiety need to be addressed or at least in my case it will lead to drinking
