Good question. But first of all, you have to understand and believe that using drugs and alcohol isn’t the way to kick the stress out of your life. Drugs and alcohol will only further complicate your life and start a new set of problems for you. We’ve all had bad days, and yes, some are truly worse than others. But there are a number of positive life skills that you can learn and include in your life to bring about physical and mental well-being.
