I honestly felt like I was battle-ready for the lockdowns. I've been in large periods of isolation in the past and had ups and downs with mental health and addiction so I was prepared lol.
I did notice the change in others though and could relate strongly with the withdrawals I was seeing. Fortunately the lockdowns (although much later on than I'd hoped) actually gave me an opportunity to tackle my addictions and mental health worries. I was sober for 3 months last year and did end up relapsing towards Christmas, but I've came back in full swing in 2021 and I'm currently 2 months sober and preparing to take the world by storm as the lockdowns are lifted.
I'm curious, what kind of food did you add to the stockpiles? I'm wanting to prepare myself at some point and I was wondering if you had any kind of plan for food to keep it interesting and not just beans on toast for months on end lol.
