My method of escape is interacting with my dogs and cats. Playing with the red dot (laser pointer) with the cats is always fun. And walking my dogs is the highlight of my day. 
They always make me feel better.

I tried some pot a few months ago. I thought i am not addicted to it so its ok. I think i was just trying to escape without drinking. In all honesty i could see myself trying pot again in another few months
My AV says i would be fine. But like others shared sure pot is not ok. You get thirsty and start drink again. Its easier to give in to alcohol if you are already intoxicated on pot. An added gateway perhaps. Its best not play with fire at all.
After my experience with pot the next day i felt lethargic. Then its crossed my mind that it wasn't bad (the high, body buzz, laughter, munchies) maybe i should do it again. My inner junkie exposed. A withdrawal to an altering substance creating to an urge to bring the feeling back. Its seems fine once in a while for some. Not for my mind however.

You touched on another of the reasons why it's a bad idea let.
Pot made some really dumb ideas seem really good...like drinking again.
'If I can get this buzzed on weed, how much more could I get buzzed with a little booze...'

Since that time I love getting lost in books such a good thing I've done for myself by learning about myself and learning lots of other stuff too, I'm currently waiting on my new batch of books I've ordered
Have you seen the SR reccomended book list ?
