Is replacing addictions the rule or the exception?

No. It’s not true.
As a general consensus, it is true that addicts are always addicts (who are hopefully recovering), but it isn’t the case that they always replace it with another addiction.
They usually do something else, yes, and they can get way into whatever just like anyone, but not for long, or more than anyone else.
Most people who stop drinking and drugs just find other interests and things to do.
