Hello!
I'm so happy to hear about your journey and how open you are to connecting with others. Dealing with moments of anxiety and addiction can be really tough, but there are ways to help manage it. One helpful strategy is to practice grounding techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, or simply focusing on the present moment.
It can also be beneficial to seek support from a therapist, join support groups, or engage in hobbies that bring you joy and peace.
Just remember, you're not alone in this journey, and having a supportive community can make a big difference ❤️
@krishnabhagvadgita so glad to see thus as anxiety and addiction are exactly what I'm dealing with. Granted I am approaching close to a year clean off opioids, however I've only been off MAT for a couple months, and the emotions (especially anxiety) are wild right now... its been super overwhelming
