There is no reason why you can't explore the spiritual along with the corporeal.

You are self-medicating. It helps relieve you from the pain and frustration of depression. I am not to be your judge. I do understand your actions, but I hope that you will soon find a better way to treat your condition. I think your tendency towards amphetamine addiction is an indicator of your dysfunctional neurobiology. A drug called Abilify might help. It can act as an antidepressant. It has also demonstrated an ability to reduce the pleasure and reward effects, along with the cravings for cocaine use. Perhaps it would help with amphetamine use as well. That's just a guess, though. I'll need to research this.

I just found this. It is a comprehensive study of the use of Abilify (aripiprazole) in humans to treat amphetamine dependence.

Abilify and amphetamine dependence is analogous to buprenorphine and heroin dependence. These drugs are both partial agonists of the receptors that produce their respective behavioral effects. They limit the high and reduce cravings.
