I only seem to feel like my best self when I’m high on thc as I quit alcohol for the time being. I just feel as happy as a kid when I’m high. I feel very bland when I’m sober. I just can’t see being completely sober from weed too.

How do you feel joy while using depressants like alcohol and weed? Personally I hate the loss of control, I feel less like myself, but I know everyone’s different. To answer your question:
I go for walks and see the sunlight through the leaves. I ride my bike and, to paraphrase the poet, sing a song of the muscles of the leg. I read poetry. I hug my loved ones. I go dancing. I challenge myself with puzzles. I read YA fiction as a grown-ass adult just because I want the good guys to win every now and then.
It’s a category mistake. I used to be like OP. Why? I was horrible depressed and miserable almost 24/7. Drugs, sex and alchohol and other ‘highs’ were the only thing that could break through that misery to make me feel good at all.
The issue was my living situation. Once I got out of college and lived on my own, had a job, I no longer need substances or sex to feel good. I just felt good everyday generally because I wasn’t subject to the endless stress of my family and dorm social life destroying my emotional well being. Also exercise, eating right, and having a balanced life of work/hobbies/leisure.
Point is you have to change your life and establish good habits and it’s a lot easier to be happy. A lot of people actively refuse to do this however, and just cope endlessly with substance abuse or other mechanisms.
