COVID-19 restrictions pose serious challenges to those in recovery | Nightline

1. Well… Here it's one year after the pandemic and I took a year clean. Sorry, I don't want to have to chase heroin on top of a all this insanity. A habit in a pandemic? Or Armageddon, or whatever this is…No thanks.

2. COVID is, an ACRONYM– illegally regulated under laws. Recovery — Satan isn't, a container filled– with food– at a watch station. You leak– alot fraud, POTUS!

3. In the state that I live in alcohol is not sold in grocery stores. Only state owned liquor stores. And when the city shut down except for essential services the liquor stores were open. That certainly doesn't help. People are drinking more. I don't drink but I joke that I should start. It has been hard to be isolated as a single mom with an only child. He's 14 and is at the age where he isn't easily entertained. He depends on his friends for socialization. We have been bike riding and walking the dog. Hanging out in the backyard and jumping on the trampoline. Playing catch and tossing water balloons when it's warm. We can still isolate from others and enjoy the outdoors. The parks don't have to be open. We don't need special equipment. Just an imagination. Our kids don't need much to have fun. Just hanging out on a blanket in the back yard making up stories or stargazing at night has made a huge impact on my son and I mentally and has brought us closer. It's easy to forget how much our kids just want us to be present. And the joy we get from that is a good deterrent. This week we are putting up a tent in the backyard and bringing out the firepit so that we can "camp" complete with roasted hotdogs and smores.

4. That is a choice

5. It called life and responsibilities. Easy, just don't be a low life. Every urge you get just ask yourself are you okay being low life vermin? If the answer is no, don't be a drug addict/drunk, you get the picture. Mental strength, never surrender. Don't be a disgraceful coward.

6. Yikes. Gun and alcohol and domestic violence surges. Not good for the future.

15. I disagree for her to be announcing and social media that she has an issue with alcohol that she needs to remain it private no one has to know her business fine if she wants to let it out let it out with someone close to her but not in public she needs to do it in private over the phone very immature of her part to do it in public social media that’s just seeking attention because of people that she has on her social media is not just family and friends she does have people who are strangers people need to be more private when it comes to their life !!! This is one of the reasons I deleted my social media because people can’t keep things private keep your alive a mystery !! That’s why we have those rehab places where they could go and get support and attend the groups but not do it on social media

16. Legalize Marijuana federally 2020!!!!!!!

24. Vasectomy ladies, vasectomy! why have children when in reality you do not like children smh…. you don't even like yourself! the level of hypocricy is beyond me and I will never understand it in my heart… your kids will never forget your drunken episodes, never. Just stop, close your legs, learn to love yourself, have an inner life and practice being on your own for ten minutes… #childfree
