I'm just curious as to what people have successfully swapped their "unhealthy addictions" for?
I'm asking just because I'm feeling pretty hopeless about my future and I can't seem to get through the day or function without relying on something - and the problem is I've recently been using alcohol to get the confidence to get up and out and function and I'm concerned that this can't end well. I've never particularly liked alcohol but the fact it's there, socially acceptable and cheap makes it all too easy to turn too. Over the past few months tolerance has increased and now I find myself drinking earlier, before I can eat and finding ways to drink it quicker to actually feel something - which are all worrying signs.
Sorry if my post is a bit incoherent, I'm trying to remained focus but I'm a little bit inebriated atm.
I'm currently on a script for heroin addiction and so am very concerned about swapping one addiction for another. I'm on my third subby script (the past two I reduced and came off completely successfully and then ended up back with a daily "roger rabbit" and back in treatment).
I suppose what I'm angling for is some hope from people that have swapped one addiction for another healthier option. Like I know people use exercise and I have in the past but I always seem to get to a plateau point where it's ineffective and I end up doing something unhealthy just to get through the day, to function and to go to work.
