I've seen some posts suggesting day drinking to deal with today's news, and I want to offer some suggestions for how to get through today if you don't want to drink, or use drugs. I'm going to suggest these things as someone who hasn't drank or taken drugs in over 9 years. I hope they help.
First of all, disclaimer: I'm not a doctor or a therapist. I'm a librarian. If you need professional help, PLEASE SEEK IT. For all of these suggestions, take them as "if you can do this thing, try it." If you can't do it or don't want to, please disregard!
