How can I rephrase this?

But they may have also grieved it by abusing aspects of life—alcohol, other 
people, their own good resources, and so on.

But they may have also mourned it by abusing the luxuries of life—alcohol, other 
people, their own good resources, and so on.

Hopefully that helps a little bit. If the person you're talking about is doing this because of emotional pain you could try something like "But they may be drowning their own sorrows in alcohol, abusing other people, and their own good resources"
