yeah i had to for health reasons and after about a year of being suicidal i discovered what you gotta resort to are the "natural highs" of sex, intellectual stimulation as in reading new things and learning new things, exercise, hiking, competition of some form either sport or video game, some form of art creation either writing music or improv/acting, good irl conversation, relaxation and entertainment. you really have to dial these down and keep up with them or its easy to get sucked under. drugs and alcohol make a lifestyle without these things more bearable. basically you have to completely relearn how to make life tolerable which will take some calibration at first.
