Stop draining my SPOONS!

What do straight-edge or teetotal people do when they have a shit day? Today I really wanted to go and get drunk. Except there are several reasons why that would be a seriously bad idea.

I had a milkshake instead. But what other options are there for de-stressing that don't involve recreational drugs? Vegan milkshakes aren't that easy to come by, especially if I'm not near Camden and/or it's after 6 pm.

I take it that chocolate counts as a recreational drug here?

Familiar music or books, maybe?

It's not so much that chocolate counts as a recreational drug as that it's a normal part of my diet. So eating chocolate because I'm stressed would involve eating more chocolate than I am comfortable eating, and simply make me feel sick rather than de-stressed.
