It’s Sunday night– the first Sunday night in a while in which you can’t look forward to a new episode of Game of Thrones. In the wake of the devastating death of you-know-who, you might be experiencing the pain that can accompany the loss of such a staple in your week.
Missing the world of Westeros? You’re not alone. Many people everywhere tonight will be experiencing the withdrawal symptoms of GOT. Fortunately, we have put together the ultimate survival guide to help fill the hole in your life and help ease the anxiety of another season passed.
Step 1: For dinner, put your culinary skills to good use and whip up one of these medieval-insprired reciples from the Official GOT Food blog.
Step 2: If this doesn’t work, or you just want to stick to your usual take-out dining tactic, you could relax with some Game of Thrones wine… and maybe even play this drinking game (while re-watching old seasons, obviously):
Step 3: If you are tired and want to relax in fun of the screen, but have already re-watched all seasons more times than you care to admit, you can follow these suggestions for what to watch instead based on which part of the show you miss the most.
Step 4: Ease your anxiety by reading about the GOT withdrawal symptoms, and know that you most certainly are not alone.
Step 5: If you still haven’t gotten your fix yet, and want to take your recovery to the next level, you can spend the next few hours (or all night if that’s what it takes) learning the Dothraki language.
Step 6: Show the world just how seriously you take GOT and your commitment to it by trying out any of these 7 coping strategies, such as “pretending to be the High Sparrow by wearing a potato sack and shouting at anyone who is enjoying themselves” or “pretend to be in the night’s watch by wearing a heavy winter coat 15 sizes too big for you, sticking your face in the freezer and peering into the icy darkness.”
Step 7: If you still need some additional distraction from the lack of a new episode to tune into, you can waste spend some time taking these following Game of Throne Quizzes:
Which GOT character are you?
How would you survive GOT?
How would you die on the show?
Who’s your GOT soulmate?
Step 8: You could get really extreme and order these pillows to decorate your home.
If you have tried all of the above, and still find your GOT withdrawal anxiety to be unbearable, now might be a good time to consider your GOT addiction, whether or not it’s a serious problem, and possibly get the help you need…
