Stress and addiction - go hand in hand

Many people develop unhealthy patterns in response to chronic stress.
That glass of wine to unwind. That scroll to disconnect. That secret behavior to escape the pressure.

And it works — until it doesn’t.
Because temporary relief newer works in the long run.

Stress & Addiction. Stress and addiction often feed each other.
What starts as a way to cope can quickly become a trap.

Let's bring awareness to the connection between addiction and stress

When stress takes over

might feel:

On edge, tense, or easily overwhelmed
Stuck in overdrive — but not getting anywhere
Numb, moody, or reactive with the people around you
Tempted to escape with alcohol, porn, food, or screens

If that sounds familiar, you're not broken. You're human.
But it's time to break the cycle.

Here’s the good news

You can change:

And I can help you:

Understand your stress patterns
Build better recovery habits
Interrupt the stress-addiction loop before it deepens

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes — including you.”
– Anne Lamott
