Welcome. My first thought is to remind that this is a sobriety forum, and talk about “self controlled” using (beyond prescriptions and therapy) [is not allowed](https://talkingsober.com/t/talking-sober-rules-and-guidelines/79120). We have people here struggling with marijiana habits as well, and we’re not very good at self control. 😅

We can all do as we like of course, but talk encouraging using is a no no.

That’d lead into my thought though. Generally swapping one thing for another isn’t a great idea if we’re struggling with addiction. Have you sought any kind of help from a doctor or recovery group?

Well done on kicking that coke though. Keep on trucking!
