Sorry to hear this. I see what you mean about distractions leading to other 'addictions'. However, other addictions maybe a little self destructive, and more healthy or productive.
I am probably not in your shoes however I have to avoid drinking with my medications, which I never really listened to in the past.
BUT stay focus, and even if it another 'addiction' make it a more productive one!
Best of luck, take care of yourself.
