Coping with Anxiety During Recovery

[Victoria Ashford]

I'm currently in recovery and finding that anxiety is a significant challenge. I'm interested in hearing how others manage anxiety during this process. Are there specific strategies or practices that have been helpful for you?

You'll find that it will go away on its own progressively and eventually. If you can see a good counsellor or psychologist or even attend an AA/NA group or even call one of those helplines it will help tremendously. Other than that food, sleep and light exercise helps.

Benzos might help but I'd be very wary. Don't want to be withdrawing from them as well.
