How to Deal With Slight Drug Addiction Due to Depressive Feelings?

Question by Mario: How to deal with slight drug addiction due to depressive feelings?
I have only managed 2 ways that really help me feel better when i’m so far down and they are both harmful. 1, that i do mostly, is i tend to over eat when i get sad. number 2, i take a drug. I abused my prescription ativan due to the hallucinations and euphoria it gave me, as well as the amazing dreams. Its like a miracle drug. Sadly I took the last 30 in one night while sleep walking (due to the meds). I have a refill and want to get it but I know that i may abuse it again. I’m not really sure what to do. Is it really bad to indulge on your addiction every now and then for some relief? Those with illness can relate i’m sure, but i’d appreciate your tips for relief other than “exercise or a good book”. I’m going crazy trying to find a pill in this house that can cause vivid dreams/ hallucinations.
Sorry, i became addicted to AMBIEN, not Ativan.

I know I’m going to get a million thumbs downs for this. I think if you can control it and you don’t have an addictive personality then its okay to abuse drugs from time to time. Sure has helped me before.
