The replacement addictions have everything to do with this.  Its a cycle that has to be broken and only until then will you find that peace.  We say over and over on these forums that you have to face your demons, deal with them and then find a place for them.  That doesnt mean it happens overnight.  You gotta start letting some of this go but as long as you are in this frame of mind you will keep finding replacement addictions.  sara

What 2 new addictions do you have now?I replaced my codeine addiction with a computer addiction but I do not think it is a harmful addiction.My family chuckles at my new addiction.I have been eating a little more now and have gained about 6 pounds,but I don't really class it as an addiction.As long as we replace bad addictions with good ones what's the problem?Just don't get into gambling or shopping.Even exercise addiction is not necessarily bad.You have done a phenomenal job in kicking 2 addictions and are probably just feeling a letdown feeling from the initial excitement of success.I love to read about your success story narla.You done good kid...

The replacement addictions have nothing to do with using or abusing anything,Like I said It's collecting things,going to the gym,and something I'd rather not say but no substance abuse .

There is a difference between stopping and true sobriety, many stop but never find sobriety, happiness or peace of mind. For me the only way to get sober was a twelve step program. I made many excuses not to go to AA. It comes down to how much you want sobriety how far you are prepared to go to get it.
