Life, Drugs and self-destruction

[Monica]

have you tried to replace them with any other thing, in order to receive those energies/sensations ?

you dont have to let go of the sensations you desire. you need to receive those sensations in a sustainable way that will not destroy your body or your life.

arent there any other thing that gives you similar sensations, even if a very, very small amount ?

This is exactly the point I was trying to make too, with the suggestion of running or fasting. And I just thought of another one: Yoga. Running, yoga and fasting are 3 ways I know of that create natural highs. I've experienced these and they can be quite profound! Rather than trying to quit something with nothing to replace it with, I suggest starting a new, healthy habit first. Then, the new habit can gradually replace the old habit.
