I’m curious about it as well. I think people cope in different ways and some people are more prone to seek out something chemical that stimulates their dopamine/serotonin than others. I’m partial to just wallowing. I’ll lay down and watch YouTube videos for days (which I guess in a way is maybe my addiction tbh...) my partner has addiction problems she’s a recovered alcoholic and has abused medial drugs and now catches her self over shopping and stuff like that. She has to be really mindful of her behavior bc she has patterns of seeking solace in things like that.

Maybe I’m the same I just opt for lying in bed all day and don’t need to change it...?
