I wouldn't risk it either. An addict is an addict is an addict, a drug is a drug is a drug. Was there a time when abusing drugs didn't involve alcohol in some way, either with your or people you were with? From what I've always heard, the two went hand in hand. I'm a straight alcoholic, never had a problem with pot or coke or any of that, so maybe I should give those a try to unwind....same thing right?
