I don ' t think a single organism likes being sober . Everything from insects to wild animals to humans . Research says all organisms have a natural tendency to want to alter the function of their brains . I have been reading a book called the compass of pleasure and it breaks this process down very nicely . I haven ' t finished it yet but I am really enjoying it . Either way I am right there with you . I actually thought to myself last night those exact words I hate being sober . I either am craving weed , caffeine , music , video games my worst addiction , internet , fatty foods , etc . My only advice is to just try to be selfaware and do the least most selfdestructive addiction at any given time . There will be times you get distracted for a few hours and by the time you realize you have been indulging for hours . Selfawareness is everything and you ' re not the only one with this problem I ' m right there with you .
