I used to heavily abuse alcohol. I did stop that (only a few slips here and there) after my first psychiatric hospitalization. Before and after that, occasional food binges would happen, but not to a point of an eating disorder.
Daytime bruxism has been a problem for me most of my life. My teeth are very worn down. A couple years ago, I even needed two root canals (two front teeth) because of it. I've made some strides at curbing this, but not completely.
Though more of a symptom than a coping method, irritability has been a vice in the past and occasionally even now. I include this because the frustration and excess energy builds and getting it out (often in a bad way) does bring some relief for me.
There was a very short period when I abused OTC stimulants. I did stop that.
