Alcoholics, addicts, compulsive gamblers and codependents usually have elevated levels of anxiety and more anxiety attacks.
There ways to deal with anxiety that are complimentary to the 12 Steps. These are;
Accept that anxiety is a normal part of life. It is not a sign that you are going mad or a bad person
Don’t try to find out the reason for your anxiety. Searching for a reason only increases it due to frustrated searching. You may not find the source because the cause is normally out of awareness, subconscious.
Don’t try to control the anxiety. Attempting to control anxiety creates more anxiety and if control fails it only increases anxiety.
Just let it be. Accept your anxiety as a signal
Anxiety will lessen if you leave it alone. The thing that keeps anxiety alive is constant...
