How do you deal? 

When I'm having a bad day I just start my day over. I blew 30 years of my life on drinking. I have been to AA now for 10 years. AA got old for me just hearing the same thing over and over. I just discovered Bible study and church, and this is incredible because it's working. So, when I'm having a bad day I just start my day over. I stay busy, and go to church to get my demons out😅 True story

Stop qualifying days as bad, you're alive. They're all good days, some are just better than others.

Always about working out in some form...get that hit of endorphins

I do EVERYTHING I ever wanted to do but was either to high or too drunk to give a.f. 8 years clean and sober now...

If you have any hobbies, those can help deal with stress. Otherwise I would suggest listening to music you like, or browsing new music of the genres you like.

My garden, I grow plants, cherries, grapes, potatoes, but yeah definitely hobbies. I'm a smoker tho. Used to go out and play crib. Community will help, getting a favorite meal.

Heavy metal music and walking

I think about future endeavors with people and money. Being present the best way I can. That and cigarettes probably

What a good question. I don't drink and when I need to let off steam, I cry. This is what happens when I don't have a life or any type of outlet. I sincerely wish you well on your journey to sobriety. God Bless You. ❤

Luckily I really don't like the taste of liquor and I don't like not being in control of myself. And I stopped smoking cold turkey 29 years ago (don't miss it at all). I am retired, and had to sell my car which means a lot of home time. I deal with a tremendous amount of monetary stress so to calm my mind and soul, I take breaks to watch RU-vid videos (especially yours cause you are easy on the eyes and your pleasingly accented voice is relaxing to listen to,lol), or I play Solitaire and Wooduku on my phone. I create tasty original meals using whatever I have on hand and freeze half to enjoy some other time. I watch movies, play music to sing to,. I write a lot, have lawn and weed chores, house chores,etc. There's not enough time in the day for all that I have to do or like to do so I try to push the stress aside and move on.

Congrats! You’re a pretty good looking man, find a lady to spend time with.

Have to compliment on how you look we can tell you don’t drink alcohol just does something to the face

Smoke a cigarette

I’m trying to get sober now from thc and what I noticed works ok is just wait out my cravings I guess wait out the stress and when it’s gone it feels like ok well that wasn’t that hard
