How do you guys cope with or get around people on the train just drinking a few feet away from you? Any tips muchly appreciated

It’s been hard for me. Mostly the weed and hard drug using at bus stops and now on the bus. I wear a mask. So I can try and not smell it or inhale it. It took me months before I could though. I had anxiety attacks when I would see it. Then I became angry. I’m still angry I’ll admit it. I really suggest the mask so you don’t smell it. Unfortunately you will see it, like homeless people drinking at stops. Listening to music is a good distraction or call someone you know to distract you.

Seeing drinking on the train, on the streets, etc always reminds me of what I don’t want to be anymore. No more “road beers” no more “train shots”. Try to look at it as a reminder of what you don’t want in your life anymore.
