Are you struggling with stress and anxiety at the state of the world? Every day lately feels like fighting the dragon, like we are in a futuristic dystopian thriller. There has truly never been a better July to stay dry than this one. We need our wits about us, we need to protect our health, and save our resources.
Staying Dry this July in 2020 may feel surreal so here is some alcohol-fee inspiration for you on Day 9 of Dry July. It may feel like we are losing the battle but we can win the war. Start by staying alcohol-free today.
Do what you can now
To make things better somehow
A big trigger for me
Is when I’ve no power really 
Or at least that’s what I perceive
Choose gratitude
Distraction 
Slow down your pace
If you adore cooking, enjoy the fine tastes 
Do things that you love within your control
Don’t hand over your power to alcohol 
The daily things that stress you
Try to turn them down
Protect your mental space
Only allow certain sounds 
Realise as you sit in the chaos around
There IS still some sobrenity to be found
There’s restriction on our daily lives it’s true
But do you want the alcohol thug around you too? 
Be sensible, be wise, you know what to do 
The choice is entirely up to you
But before you drink, think 
Stay at home 
Protect your immune system
And let it protect you
