I think you will do fine. You have a great sense of truth about you.
When I was drinking, I had the mindset that going from hard stuff to just beer means I don't have a problem. I found that my issues are my issues and what others think doesn't matter. If it was a problem for me, it was worth doing something about it. Glad I learned along the way that alcohol was alcohol no matter what form it came in. Any drug, no matter the strength or form can be a problem for any person.
The degree of issues that any addictive substance causes in our life doesn't dictate if it is an issue or not...it is what we think that says it is a problem.
Mashed potatos and gravy can be as much a problem for me as the strongest drug there is.
You are wise and smart... you will do well I am sure. Congratulations on your choices.
