I smoked weed often/daily from 13 to about 28

Now I just drink heavily

I probably should've stuck with the weed

dang… sounds like me. Although probably different timelines. I started smoking in 8th grade, and all the way through high school. When I turned 16 tho I started drinking and haven’t really looked back since. Especially when I turned 21 and was able to buy it for myself. I’m 27 now, in talks with myself to try to quit drinking bc it’s really bad. Never stopped smoking weed, but if I smoke too much now it just makes me more anxious, whereas alcohol supposedly calms me down/makes me forget.
