I smoke marijuana a couple times a week but the main reason I smoke pot is to quell the nauseau I get from drinking. I still enjoy pot. I drink vodka chased by beer every night. I have been doing this every night since I was 18 in 1997. I come from a family of drunks. The only extended periods of time where I have not drank was when I was in a homeless shelter in L.A. for 4 months in 2000. I manage to excel in school. Since my ex left me in 2003 I have been drinking more. Sometimes I go to work somewhat drunk but not school anymore. Is it possible for someone who has been drunk so long kick the habit and still juggle school and work? I cannot imagine life without alcohol to numb the vice grip of depression on my brain?
