Real awnser:
>Meditation trances.
You use trances to make yourself feel serenity on demand and then you don't need booze or any escapism.
I can do trances at about 40% capacity (because I get distracted) so I'm still learning, but I haven't drunk/vaped in years.
If you want to know how to do it, its:
>focus on a good feeling in the body until it overwhelms you (this is how to create a "reglious experience"))
If you are unable to this, its because your focus is bad. You need to be able to focus for 100 seconds with no distractions minimum.
>inb4 "but I don't have mental distractions and nothing happens"
Your introspection is so bad you can't even distinguish between "Autopilot" habit and actual concentration, work on noticing things.
(NOTE: if you actually pull this off I AM NOT responsible for any "miracles" that you think you can do, that's on you)
