What often (always?) works is to stock up with ever More Healthy Pleasures. As you can see the space we give now for unhealthy pleasures (alcohol, gambling, the list is long) will necessarily shrink as you store up more with the other kind.
In other words: Kick off bad pleasures with sublime ones such as (and most important) of Friends who you can truly enjoy your life's ups and share the downs with.
Other pleasures to replace the bad ones are as Being Curious about the world and all life in it. Well it's vast so pick the area that interests You. Remember this dude who got the Nobel Prize in physics and said: This is just a little colorful piece of thread on my shoulder. Because the real (good) pleasure is "Finding." (well he wrote a book, The Pleasure of finding Things Out) But remember how curious we were as babies, darting our eyes in every direction -- of color, of sound, and....?
I truly hope you will find More (sublime) Pleasures in your life ... and the need for bad pleasures will fade into oblivion. We all do here on Mayo, for each other.
