Do you think you may just be replacing one potential addiction with another? I know what that feels like. But if you want to deal with life, you may have to cut all the addicting substances out, or it may lead you to a whole new set of troubles. Depressing your respiration rate for one, which can land you in the hospital too. You may not even notice this because you're so relaxed.
I don't mean to sound harsh because I know how hard it is to get sober. And life isn't great when you first get sober because the demons are still there. But, for me, I couldn't deal with my demons until I let my addictive behavior go, and I can't tell you how much better my life is. It was a struggle--it usually is--but once you get some real time under your belt, and start to deal with what led to the addiction in the first place, life can be wonderful.
