Stressed out? Turning to drugs or alcohol might seem like a quick fix, but it’s not the answer. 🚫 

Here’s how you can manage stress in a healthy way instead:

🧘‍♂️ Breathe Deep: Use deep breathing or meditation to calm your mind and reduce stress without harmful substances.

 🏃‍♀️ Get Active: Exercise is a natural stress reliever. Whether it’s running, working out, or just taking a walk, it helps keep you focused and strong.

 🎨 Express Yourself: Engage in hobbies like art, music, or writing to express your feelings and relieve stress in a positive way. 

🗣️ Talk It Out: Don’t face stress alone—talk to a friend, family member, or counselor about what’s bothering you.

 📚 Stay Organized: Manage your time effectively to reduce stress and avoid the temptation to use substances as a way to cope.

Remember, stress is part of life, but substance use doesn’t have to be. Choose healthy ways to cope and keep your mind and body strong! 💪✨
