E244: Finding Peace When the World Feels Unsafe
Some weeks, the world feels like too much. Shocking news, painful anniversaries, and even everyday moments can stir up old fears and anxieties. For those of us in recovery, those feelings used to send us straight to a drink or a destructive behavior.
In this episode, Matt and Steve talk honestly about what it’s like when the news cycle, memories of 9/11, and even walking into a school can trigger fear, stress, and overwhelm. We explore how Steps 6 and 7 — and other tools from recovery — help us let go of what we can’t control, ask for help, and find peace without picking up a drink.
If you’ve ever felt shaken by the world around you, this conversation is for you. You don’t have to carry every burden — and you don’t have to face it alone.
