 Feeling good without drugs

In the past year or so of my life, I have gone through an extremely difficult transition period. I don't want to get into detail but everything went downhill in my life...I was a complete mess. So I got dependent on the drugs that stop me from feeling so depressed and anxious all the time. Lately, things are slowly starting to get better. I am trying my best to stay away from getting fucked up. but after a couple years of using these chemicals for the wrong reason, it took a toll on me. When I'm sober, I am extremely agitated and anxious. The lack of motivation and energy is what killed me the most. So how I can get out of these bad habits while at the same time feel happy about life?

I turn to exercise. It helps with my anxiety (quit smoking weed), and the physical gains make me feel great about myself, and motivate me to be equally productive in other areas of my life.

Start good habits! It's the only way. Fitness, music, meditation, writing, anything that you can improve and build on. You can't really quit bad habits, you can only make a habit of doing something else instead. Fill your life with constructive things; get busy. Soon you won't want to waste your time by getting fucked up.
Nothing can guarantee you will always feel happy about life, that's why we have to learn to be graceful when we're in a crummy mood. This means you don't do drugs to feel better, you don't indulge angry thoughts, and you don't blame others for where you are. If you do this, your bad moods will go away a lot faster.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. -- `Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' -- Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"

I am trying my best to get out of this mind-state. I have been sitting home doing nothing for sooo long. It is very difficult for me to motivate myself. Once Im exercising or walking, I have no problem... I also dont eat right so lack of energy is also a factor.

^^^ Diet has a hudr effect on your mood btw. I was in a similar situation and did the master cleanse. I felt so great and had tons of energy to get shit done. It did wonders for my mental health. Here is a link to the book

ABSENCE OF EVIDNCE IS NOT EVIDENCE OF ABSENCE

"Sir, I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"the fact has not created in me
a sense of obligation."
