Thank you for making me think of an answer for myself. What do I do to cope now that I don't drink to numb and forget?
Every day, one day at a time I try to live life on Gods terms. It's feels good to know the answer to that question for me.
I guess another way to answer your question is I don't cope with life by trying to control it. Acceptance and letting go are a daily reprieve from being overwhelmed and lost.
