My best friend and brother and girl friend especially. And a lot of my spare money is used on alcohol and weed so i have not been able to save. Along with mania bouts when i get obsessed with buy books or recently it was fish tanks lol.

I have heard of some alcoholics who switched to weed. I don't know if weed makes bipolar worse. Also I don't know if weed use might weaken your resolve to abstain from alcohol. Or maybe weed is connected with alcohol for you behaviorally. Like some people who are trying to quit smoking find that alcohol makes them crave a cigarette, because they always used them together. Maybe weed and alcohol are like that for you.
I have heard that alcohol and some medications are digested in the liver. So that can be hard on your liver. Maybe switching exclusively to weed would protect your liver and remove one of your addictions?
I don't know that much about these addictions or bipolar, so my advice should be taken with a huge grain of salt
