"Idle hands are the devil's plaything."...joking aside, I agree that distractions help the time pass.
any distraction suggestions Turncoat love?
Videogames have typically been my go to, otherwise most of my life's spent trying to find said distractions. Distraction is the only reason to do anything really.
Novelty is the strongest source I've found, but finding it's a constant chore. LSD and smoking MJ have helped in the past for enhancing otherwise number things, but if his issue's closer to an addictive personality than a physical dependency then that could just be opening up a new set of problems.
Stimulants are a bitch to kick, it takes persistence through pain and mental tangent itches. The challenge is over passing the time, so all I can recommend are things that help that along. With weed becoming increasingly legal, some Indica strains may be the way for him to go for the body numbness, and Limonene terpenes could help with his mood.
