I entirely empathize with your situation, drug usage is the first thing I turn to when hypo/manic. Truthfully when I'm depressed too. You just have to find something to occupy your time. Right now I'm moving, it's the absolute only thing settling my mania triggered massive drug cravings. I know how hard Rx opiates are to kick, and with draw is the worst, it's hard to remember after a few years clean, but read fourms about addiction on this sight. The with draw threads tend to trigger memories of my last withdrawal (6 mo tha ago)

I hope you are okay, and please keep us updated!
