As we age, is it possible to swap the addiction for something more socially acceptable, self satisfying, and productive?

Folks volunteer, run marathons, etc.

Exercise can create chemical changes in body and mind.

Volunteer organizations can occupy one's mind and time.

For example, a hobby I have is amateur astronomy, last week, I was looking at two different supernova and today that blows my mind more than any drug may have done in my youth.

I understand that one must have will and desire to change.

Beats the alternative imo.
