Early in recovery we tend to look for a substitue. I did the same, thought well, I'm alcoholic, that's the problem, I can handle some pot... but the sponsor detered my thinking got me on track and made me realize it wasn't the answer. Sober is sober, no mind altering chemicals period for me. It's a struggle in early recovery, but have faith and courage in yourself and you will make it.... now all well intentions aside, toss the gift.
