I was once using “pot” in order to maintain not using alcohol or other drugs. My first 2 yrs I was totally clean. However I had several medical( mental ) issues that came up , A DR put me on 10 differnt medications at 1 time then suicide became an option. After a period of time I chose to smoke pot instead of taking all these meds. It helped until I could go through the process needed to obtain total abstinence. Today I can say I’m clean and sober and proud of it. I’m sure the long term effects of perscribed meds would be just as dramatic. I do not think this is for everyone however lets remember the only requirment for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking! I thank god and my sponsor daily for understanding that! I’m neither for or against I’m just telling part of my story. Thank you for the info!
