This character is an alcoholic or other addict, but now they're on the wagon. So they take up some other habit to distract them from their cravings. Standard replacement habits include coffee or cigarettes (to replace alcohol) and gum or binge-eating (to replace tobacco). This is Truth in Television; a habit becomes routine, and kicking the habit becomes much easier when you form a new routine (e.g., instead of rolling a cigarette, you open a pack of chewing gum). For more serious addictions, this may be even more true: according to some neurological schools of thought, when the brain becomes truly hooked on pleasure-causing chemicals released either due to a physical (e.g., drugs) or emotional (e.g., gambling) stimulus, it becomes virtually impossible to abandon that stimulus without consciously or subconsciously replacing it with another that produces a similar or better result. Conveniently, such alternative addictions are also often narratively useful, as they allow portraying a character with an addiction that is neither completely crippling nor entirely an Informed Flaw, and can also provide a justification for treating a G-Rated Drug like a real one. In situations Played for Laughs, it's not unusual for the substitution to 1) switch a mild drug for a worse drug, 2) cause the same kind of reactions even if it's supposed to be "healthier" or 3) Not really help put the addict's mind off the cravings. See also Oral Fixation, for one of the most common ways to kick one of the most common addictions (cigarettes). |

Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten: Valvatorez has replaced his need for human blood with sardines. While it doesn't provide any of the benefits of drinking human blood (he's gone through a rather massive Depower since he's stopped), he's at least not dealing with the warm bloodbags issue. | |

Discussed in Season 3 of Arrow, where Oliver accuses Laurel of using the vigilante lifestyle as a replacement for her drug/alcohol addiction (kicked the previous season). She furiously tells him that is not a card he gets to play against her (especially given that he's thrown this in her face before), and if anyone is using vigilantism to hide from their feelings, it's him. | |

On House: Tritter, the detective in season 3, is always seen chewing nicotine gum. When he first goes to the clinic because he thinks he has an STD, House says his problem was actually caused by dehydration from the nicotine gum. House himself does this in Season 6 after checking himself into a psychiatric hospital. He gets high-dose ibuprofen (i.e. super-triple-extra-strength Advil) for the leg pain and replaces the psychological effects of the Vicodin with whiskey. For a little while he also tries cooking as an emotional outlet rather than being an asshole to his patients. Cooking works, but he prefers medicine. |

The Simpsons: Barney switches from drinking beer to drinking coffee. Then Moe opens an espresso stand... When Marge goes into drug rehab for her alcoholism, she notes that everyone there just switches addictions. To get Homer to stop drinking and overeating, Marge tries to get him addicted on bell peppers. In The Simpsons Movie, Springfield falls into chaos after the coffee pot at AA gets smashed. In another episode, Krusty starts using nicotine patches to displace his cigarette smoking, but instead ends up addicted to the patches. When Otto is confronted with open legal weed, questions from a professional, and a police officer on hand who just has a suggestion, he has a freakout where "the world no longer makes sense", goes to Moe's Tavern and, to everyone's surprise, he asks for a beer. (He finds his way back to pot shortly thereafter.) |

On Heroes, Sylar meets his biological father who, like himself, was driven by a Horror Hunger to seek out other superpowered people and steal their powers, but who has since given it up. His father tells him that if he wants to quit, too, he should find "something to keep your hands busy," and this is why he became a taxidermist. | |

Discworld: The Black Ribboner vampires, who've sworn to abstain from drinking human blood, all now have some other addiction. It's implied that they're biologically required to be addicted to something. For Maladict from Monstrous Regiment, it's coffee. Things get tense after a thief hits the soldiers' camp, leaving Maladict so out of sorts that the vampire begins suffering "flash-sides" and starts muttering about "Charlie" and the "LZ." For Otto from The Truth, it's photography (which, given vampiric photosensitivity, has caused many an embarrassing situation). The first-seen and apparently founding member Lady Margolotta claims that what vampires really wanted by drinking blood was power. She turned her addictions to politics. The current head of the Ankh-Morpork chapter of the organization apparently collects bananas and obsessively builds matchstick models. Of human organs. Vimes has replaced alcohol with cigars — and, maybe, police work. Or, alternatively, his actual addiction was always to justice, and he turned to drink when the Watch was basically powerless and thus incapable of delivering it - the more the Watch becomes capable of actually doing things that help people over the course of the series, the less he appears tempted to drink. |

Warcraft: Played with in the lore: High Elves have been addicted to magic for at least 10,000 years. Their addiction hasn't changed too much, but since the Sunwell was destroyed in Warcraft III, the Blood Elves (who had a complete reliance on the Sunwell) had to find a new source to channel their magical power or suffer from a debilitating withdrawal. They did this by absorbing magic from creatures, getting them addicted to Fel energy instead of Arcane energy. The few remaining High Elves have long since learned to replace their reliance on the Sunwell with meditation, or being within range of a Night Elf Moonwell, playing this trope a little straighter. | |

In the Stephanie Plum books, Stephanie has a serious thing for cake, and a general fondness for sweets. When she gives up sugar for a while, her libido goes into overdrive. She manages to wear out Morelli, who finds almost any excuse to get it on with her. It gets to the point where he locks himself into his guest bedroom just to get a good night's sleep. He's normally very territorial when it comes to her dealings with Ranger, but, in this instance, he actually suggested that Stephanie avail herself of his rival to "take up the slack". | |

Social media. How many people have given up Facebook, only to move to Tumblr, or Twitter, or YouTube, or.... Hardcore gamers will often move from one extremely immersive gaming experience to another, especially with the MMORPG genre. Most noticeable when a number of people managed to kick their habit for Everquest... by getting addicted to World of Warcraft instead.note In recent years, with the changes in World of Warcraft people are now moving to Final Fantasy XIV. |

In Neuromancer, Case was addicted to the Matrix, but then he screwed over a client and they altered his nervous system so that he could no longer go online, so he switched to amphetamines and cocaine. However, after his Matrix ability is restored and his pancreas is modified to neutralize his usual drugs, his addiction to stimulants remains and he spends most of the book looking for a new drug that can get him high. | |

The X-Files: Fans of The X-Files have speculated that Mulder's habit of eating sunflower seeds came from quitting smoking. Which would draw a contrast between him and the Cigarette Smoking Man, who turns out to be his biological father. Others speculate that, since he is addicted to porn, he is simply displacing that addiction while he's on the job. |

Tony Stark was an alcoholic. After he quit, he had to be careful of displacement addiction. He became a workaholic. In Iron Man Rapture, before the mini-series, Tony had quit drinking. After his heart attack, he built himself a new heart and had it implanted. He became addicted to cyber enhancements. Lately, it seems he's become addicted to coffee. In one issue he specifically asked for a gallon-drum with "some kind of intravenous drip." |

Lucky Luke, famously. Lucky Luke was created as a heavy smoker in a time where it wasn't controversial, and the way his mouth is classically drawn is designed to fit him having a cigarette in it at all times. In 1983, Morris had him munch a straw so as not to have to change his trademark mouth shape. Much later, the change was finally acknowledged in a story where someone offers Luke a cigarette, and he says that he has quit it and munches the straw as a way to deal with it. Morris received praise from the World Health Organization for having Lucky Luke quit smoking. | |

Eventually the gang-leader, Thorkild, gets fed up with his unstable behavior and has him incarcerated inside a defunct walk-in freezer to force him to Going Cold Turkey. Afterwards, Peter does find a displacement for his drug addiction, namely by picking up a low-key alcohol addiction, but even this turn out to be an actual improvement and he becomes a much more stable and helpful member of the group afterwards. | |

The episode "Bloody Mary" goes farther to say that Alcoholics Anonymous is this, and that it manipulates people to feel like they're powerless to do anything about their addictions. This is actually a heavily-debated topic, since numerous people have compared A.A. to a cult in Real Life |

Joe Clay from Days of Wine and Roses mitigates his need of alcohol with cigarettes. He tries to help his wife Kirsten with it too but everything is futile. Also, during the Alcoholics Anonymous scene several people in the room are seen anxiously smoking. | |

James Taylor first replaced his drug addiction with aerobics, engaging in intense hours-long sessions each day. He switched to windsurfing when age began slowing him down. | |

There used to be a game on the Homestar Runner site called "The Cheat's Smoking Challenge", where you control the Cheat collecting nicotine patches to kick his smoking habit. Finishing with a high enough score prompts Strong Bad to comment that he's now become a heavy coffee drinker instead. | |

Hey Arnold! has a few G-rated examples. The Chocolate Boy does this to his chocolate addiction, turning it into a radish addiction. Implied with Miriam when she becomes the Beeper Queen. She dumps her "smoothies" and picks up her life, only to become a workaholic. |

Referenced in Get Him to the Greek: Aldous Snow has recently fallen Off the Wagon, but his ex-girlfriend Jackie points out that even when he was sober he would spend hours every day doing yoga. "There's nothing in this world that you can't turn into heroin." | |

There was an arc of Starslip where Cutter Edgewise was forced to give up drinking. He took up smoking—several cigarettes and a cigar stuffed into a pipe. Eventually, he was allowed to go back to alcohol. | |

In the Aubrey-Maturin novels, Dr. Maturin develops a powerful addiction to the (opium-based) tincture of laudanum. After successfully kicking the habit, he finds a perfectly healthy substitute, one he knows to be non-addictive... the coca leaves chewed by the natives of Peru.note The joke is obvious, but counterintuitively, he's probably just fine. The raw coca leaf is vastly less potent than refined cocaine and is generally considered to be less addictive than coffee. After his coca leaves run out, Maturin takes to smoking cigars with increasing frequency instead. | |

Sherlock Holmes: Variant. Rather than kicking one habit and replacing it with another, Holmes alternates between workaholism and cocaine, depending on whether he has a case to deal with or not. He insists that he's only addicted to mental stimulation, and doesn't need the cocaine when he actually has something to do, but Watson is skeptical of the viability of this coping mechanism. In a later story ("The Missing Three-Quarter"), he mentions that at some unspecified time, he had to wean Holmes off his drug habit and make him cut it out completely, so it's likely Holmes did develop a more serious addiction to cocaine that required Watson's intervention at some point. | |

Played with in Uncle Buck where the titular Buck Russell explains how he quit smoking cigarettes: he switched to cigars. The next three steps of his plan involve pipes, chewing tobacco, and nicotine gum. | |

Throughout Constantine (2005), the title character chain-smokes cigarettes despite having been diagnosed with lung cancer. At the end of the movie, his cancer is cured, and he's shown popping a stick of gum into his mouth to show that he's quitting smoking. What's particularly ironic about this is that in the comics, he intentionally tricks Hell into curing his cancer. This is done in such a way that they must make sure he doesn't die for a very long while, at least — so he goes right back to chain smoking as soon as his lung cancer's gone, swearing at the devil(s) as he does so. | |
