... after getting so used to the instant fixes of substances it takes more time and effort to try things the other way, like eating and sleeping well...
Ain't that the truth

Even in my situation where there's not even pressure to be seeking employment in the immediate future and literally nothing I am expected to do besides an occasional brief appointment with one agency or another - and with a complete absence of social life in any form - I'll make and take any possible excuse - however slight - to take the instant relief hit of energy and motivation despite having no specific need for either. Even with nothing to do it feels shitey having neither energy nor motivation to not do it.
I keep sabotaging myself after completing the difficult bit, i make myself go through it all again and again. Must be a glutton for punishment or something.![]()
Another thing I can closely relate to. I'll go through the initial phases of w/d endlessly but once the genuinely unpleasant part is out the way and is down to the mere niggling irritant stage I'll cave time and time again. Not by much admittedly, but enough to know I'll have to do much the same again. There is a world of difference between 12mg of bupe and 0.5mg (or somewhere in that region - certainly sub mg levels anyway) but it's still quickfix energy and motivation that does nothing really beyond keeping the cycle going. I used to do much the same with heroin - go through the initial stages of intense physical w/d then cave once it was starting to fade. I suspect it was just the fact it was fading which made actual complete sobriety and absence of chemical assistance a very real possibility - and one close at hand too. Wanting to quit is one thing, being perfectly capable of doing "the hard bit" is one thing, the actual hard bit tends to be not quite what you'd expect it to be and is quite another.
