Is it common to struggle with addiction if one has high anxiety? Have any of you found anxiety medication to help in your journey to a sober free life?

Yes, quite common actually. I have been on Fluoxotine(prosaic) for a good long while. It helps but it is not a fix all. I still have to put in the emotional work, go to meetings, talk with support group, volunteer..etc. All of those things create a better chance for a well rounded and maintained sobriety.
