I had problems with both drugs & alcohol and if I did not have both I would double up on the other. The first real break I got was from getting Librium in detox, it allowed me to live normally. I then took my time to get off the Librium and things were great for a long time.
But then because of back pain I took to smoking pot again which sure enough lead me to drinking again. At first just a little of each but it soon became out of control.

The lesson here was don't replace one substance abuse problem with another even if it seems harmless and under control. I would recommend asking your doctor for something to help you relax but just for a short term. You need time away from pot and alcohol both.

Take care!
