You seem to be living a meaningful life with values and purpose that trump your drinking. You should be proud of yourself. I hope you are.
You have my admiration and prayers.

I'm glad you made your way back to this place of help hope and support Max.
Life can be hard, and caring for your mom can't be easy on top of everything else but it really is possible to live without a crutch.
You've beat your alcohol addiction, you can beat your pot addiction too (and your coffee one if that's causing you trouble too)
It all starts here man

Its tough when my other half smokes it,she seems to function just fine.With everything going in my life right now,withdrawl from weed is very real and extremely intense.I need to just let go and start getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.

sorry I missed your post Max. Like admiral said I was over the worst in a week of the physical and emotional stuff.
Took a little longer than that to not want to smoke, or not be tempted to 'escape'....
but man, I wanted change - I didn't like who I was or what my life had become - so I used that, and the support here.
30 years a daily smoker or close to - almost 13 years almost without a smoke is miraculous.
if I can do it, anyone can
