Finding/Lacking Joy

Found something to face every day, like job, school, girlfriend. so that you find realistic goal instead imaginary pleasure. Be patient about urges and life challenges. Dont let emotion and lust drives your mind. Be a righteous person and make decisions with fairness and justice

 

Picking up old hobbies, I neglected in my extreme addiction phase, was key for me.

Note:
It was not a quick fix. At the beginning I felt so stupid compared to the past when I was much more into the topic.
I learned to handle this feeling and appreciated my small successes more, that came with endurance and not giving up to learn the old hobby again.

To be honest it took me about 1-2 month until I first time felt this really good feelings of being successful in a hobby, the same way I used to do before my addiction.
Until then I had to learn to handle the feelings about being a failure.
