I agree with this. Although drinking has always caused the most severe issues in my life, I also smoked a lot of pot. I gave that up with the booze... this time.

I would switch back and forth between them, but I always wound up back in the same place: Miserable after making a fool out of myself or hurting other people on a drinking binge.
After my last "incident" I just felt ready. I don't know how else to explain it. It's the first time I really felt the resolve to change my ways. It's almost like now I see the booze and pot (to a lesser degree) as two ex-friends that I got in a fight with and don't want to hang out with anymore. It's time to cut them out of my life... Our relationship is just too toxic.
I guess there has to be a moment where you really see the light, so to speak. It's like you know you just can't take it anymore and something's gotta give.
Best wishes... You can do it
