Here's a list of some of the things we replace our addiction with once we are off of drugs and alcohol.
1.Eating- for some reason when some of us are clean off of drugs and alcohol we have a sweet tooth and eat all the sugar we can to replace drugs. That's what happened to me. When I got clean I ate a lot of candy and drank a lot of sodas.
2. Gambling- some of us resort to gambling because it gives us a rush like when we were on drugs.
3. Sex- yet again it give us a rush as if we were using drugs again. I'm guilty of this one.
4. Exercising- this is one that gets left out a lot cause some of us wouldn't expect it to happen. When going to rehab a lot of them have gyms or take you to the gym. We start working out and can't stop.
5. Gaming- this one is also left out a lot also. I don't have much experience in this one due to the fact I'm not good and video games. But some people spend hours maybe even days in front of the TV or computer playing games ( sort of like the world of warcraft south park episode)
This is just a list of some of the things we can trade our addiction for. I'm sure there's a lot more. Being an addict we are very susceptible to being addicted to anything that can take over our life. Even if it doesn't harm our body or could kill us. It is just best for us to do everything in moderation while we are in the early stages of our recovery.
