>quit drinking
>quit doing heroin
>withdrawals for both almost make me go insane
Now I'm just depressed. Don't want to do anything. I know that this is probably PAWS, but still. Just depressed remembering all the cringe things I did while high and drunk. Wonder what the point in anything is. Figured it'd be like trainspotting, ride off into the sunset. But nope, just regular boring life again. What do?

Heroin hasn’t existed for a while buddy.

Find a healthier addiction like fitness, something that has a positive payoff like looking good, feeling good, making love good. You can take risks in things like business or push yourself to explore the world. Just get out of your comfort zone and make sure the old you is something you laugh at when you’re living a life worth living. Maybe chasing skirt is your thing, or maybe it’s building things, getting paid, fine dining, etc. No one can figure it out so you have to go taste life like a new drug and see what you like and what works for you.

I used to love to run. I was pretty good too. Will be honest, the thought of doing so makes me want to vomit. But I'll lace up and try again. Might be a bit before I do sprints again, however.

I've tried. I used to be Catholic, but divorce and other stuff have made that a bit of a no go for me as of late. I'll see if there's a Lutheran congregation near me.

The benefit is that eventually you don’t need those things to feel decent anymore, and don’t have the massive side effects

i dont think its the same for me as it is for you; ive never had a real use of hard drugs in the same way. i think that i couldnt imagine in too meaningful of a way what it would mean for you to live free of drugs, but i know people have done it before. why? someone told me or i heard it online. im sure its true. i dont know. most people like that dont get clean or continue living very long i heard too.

where did you find heroin in the 2020s

I'm afraid this is quite common for addicts. You probably wouldn't have started taking the drugs in the first place if you life hadn't been empty; and taking them A: for a while makes you feel good without the need for anything else (but only for a while), and B: makes you so lethargic you don't have the energy to organise anything. So, now that you're off the drugs, you notice the emptiness again; but also, now that you're off the drugs, you once more have the ability to look for things to fill your life with - something you couldn't do while drunk or high. It's important that you take that opportunity and find things. Getting lonely and bored are the worst possible things for an addict.
