I can’t get away from the noise, the drinking, the smell, but i just want to find ways to escape, to distract myself, any ideas?

Hello,

I'm so sorry to hear about the problems that you are facing. I would suggest taking time out for yourself each day, watching a TV programme, reading a book or going for a walk. You could also try meditation or mindfulness. If you are still struggling please contact the NACOA helpline on 08003583456 or email helpline@Nacoa.org.uk who can give you further suggestions on how to cope.

  So sorry to hear about your situation.
  Go for walks and do things with people who make you life (in your household / bubble).
