There must have been plenty of people who have addressed the problem of what to do once you have succeeded in abstaining from drugs.
I like the idea that drug abuse is a lust for life gone wrong. (This idea comes from the Iggy Pop album of the same name.)
The only thing that comes to mind is exploring, and it's the wrong century for that (drug use being a kind of exploration).
There must be some way to sublimate this stuff.
Telling someone to do a 9 to 5 and pay the mortgage off doesn't seem to cut it.
Of course, having the right friends and acquaintances is important.
