A drug is a drug is a DRUG. This disease tells us that as long as we don't do X, we can do Y - after all Y isn't as bad as X, right? Wrong. It's a lie.
Some of us have to learn this the hard way, I guess.
An honest program of recovery and using the tools of recovery are what stand between us and that voice.
Don't pick up (anything) no matter what. That's how we get clean and sober. That's how we stay clean and sober.
