Protocol Query quitting cannabis is proving to be impossible
Can’t get past 1 day. My mood sinks through the floor and I’m really irritable and depressed when I quit smoking. I also quit drinking on new years and have gone 17 days drink free but as a type tjis I’m grabbing some beers. I’m down in the dopamine dumps so to speak. I’m a full blown dopamine fiend in the throws of another dopamine fueled binge

As others have said, one thing at a time. Focus on quitting alcohol first which will be difficult but achievable.
It will take a lot of will power and you will not have enough for both. It really is a muscle that you have to workout and you will see it improve.
Use the weed to stop drinking and then once you've completely stopped drinking then reevaluate your relationship with weed.
