Welcome to Talking Sober Flowerqueen. Hope you can find support here in your personal journey. I have different addictions, and changed some for others as well. The way I’m trying to deal with them is trying to change my life so that I do not longer need those addictions. I used my addictions to flee and hide from the world. Now I’m learning to face the world and deal with it, with relations, with work, with everything. I needed psychotherapy for that, and peer support. Not sure what you need but that’s up to you to find out I think. BTW, the things you mention are already a big improvement on opioids! Welcome again, and wishing you all success.

I am finding it helpful to volunteer in my community. While helping others I can’t focus on my needs. It helps me.
