I know natural things, such as lavender, (and I am allergic to most of them,) and I’m not looking for answers like alcohol or marijuana.
The stress is borderline anxiety/depression (which I have a recent history of) and I don’t want it to get to that point again.

I am also willing to hear of anybodies relaxation methods/routines such as bathing with candles.

please list a few :]
and if you can, think of effects for any of their physical health, mental health, emotional health, spiritual health and social health.
thanks (:

As i said i feel really weird and down all the time. Each day is a struggle for me. I just want to feel normal and be happy again. Since quitting i have suffered badly from anxiety everyday. I am stressed out by that. And that makes me stressed from being stressed! I just feel like i’m living in a bad dream, and i just want to wake up and feel fresh again! My main question is what can i drink and eat to replace the stress relief of alcohol and cigarettes

Okay so in my opinion the best way to make yourself feel better is to share your stress ! So please tell me and all readers here what got you people started on drugs or Alcohol . Was it stress , Peer pressure , Your friends etc . You can also confess how guilty you feel or do you regret it ? Or are you happy you started drugs . I Can’t wait for your answers . x

What are some heathy ways to avoid the psysiological effects and what unhealthy habits may increase the effects of stress? Excercise and Alcohol I know are two big factors but I’m truly stressed and I need all the help I can get!

put in order of most to least damaging…

Today is the first day off the alcohol and now I have SEVERE anxiety, lightheaded and i’m very dizzy and shaking. How long will this last because I am starting a new job in 2 days and I;m afraid I won’t feel well enough and have too much anxiety to even leave my home.

I’ve heard that stress can cause more damage than having a few drinks while you are pregnant. How true is this? I have googled it and have found nothing. Maybe I am wording it wrong or something.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, I am not looking to drink while I am pregnant because I know even a little bit can be very harmful to the baby and I’m really not in that much need of a drink. I also know stress can have damaging effects on the baby as well. Which one is worse?

on friday i drank half of a 2’6 of tequila gold and had cold shots and a hoot of pot and a lot of cigarettes. i threw up about an hour before going to meet up with a girl where we tried to have sex and i couldn’t because i couldn’t get hard. we were convinced it was “whiskey dick” but since then i havent been able to get hard even alone watching porn. anyone know what the problem could be? it may be because i’m nervous thinking about what happened and thinking that she just thinks i cant get up or something. i am also kinda stressed out about some things like my parents and my ex gf that might be contributing to the problem. please don’t answer to this telling me i’m going to be a loser when i grow up because i drink so much and smoke and ****. i’m a teen and i’m living the teen life. i’ll grow out of it trust me. just please give me advice with this like maybe the alcohol is still in my blood and just need to wait longer or if cigarettes are doing it. thank you.
to be honest i have gotten drunk every weekend atleast 2 times but this weekend only once but i drank a lot more than usual. and i’ve been doing that for the last month and a half but i have friends that drink even more than me and can still have sex
