Yeah, I started drinking more heavily cos I couldn't get weed, and ended up a genuine alcoholic.
For a long time I thought I was cured of my weed addiction, but nope - it was there in the background waiting for an opportunity.
Real recovery for me started when I stopped looking for the easy 'take this and feel good' solution.
Going on an opiate bender would still be the same merry go round - just a different coloured horse.
