I was just curious about if most/some people when they quit their DOC pick up any other bad habits? Is this common? Sex, gambling, another drug, thrillseeking behaviour? or do you just quit your DOC and be done with everything that may be tempting?

It's common for people to switch, that's one reason why some people like 12 steps, o therapy when they are quitting..

It is extremely common.I am an addict of anything that is addictable.It is very likely to find something to take the place of your drug of choice.It all leads to the same place,INSANITY!

I've replaced drugs and alcohol with cigarettes, caffeine, and chocolate cake.

I hear ya about the chocolate cake!

I think people who are addicts, obviously have addictive personalities so they'll tend to switch addictions. That's why mine floored me. I don't drink, smoke or any of the usuals.

I switched mine when I got clean the first time around. Now I smoke like crazy, drink too much caffeine, eat out too much and spend way too many hours online.

Tell me about the chocolate! Since I stopped drinking my sweet tooth has been in high gear. I never really liked sweets all that much but man do I crave that stuff now. I am glad I excersize.
