I quit marijuana 2 months ago being a smoker since 15 (11 years). I felt it was making me stupid. I never really was much of a drinker, but now that I've quit weed, I probably have 3-4 beers a night. Drinking definitely makes me feel worse than smoking weed, but I think long-term weed use might be worse for your brain.
Ideally I wouldn't be drinking or smoking, but there's this urge inside of me that just makes me need to do something to change my cognition.

- toasterlovin 8y agoJust some anecdata and personal experience, feel free to disregard: Smoking marijuana for 11 years is a long-term habit. I, personally, wouldn't expect to just be able to stop and not have something else to fill the gap that used to be filled by cannabis. To me, it totally makes sense that you're now drinking every night. Have you tried tapering off of alcohol slowly? I have an extremely addictive personality and whenever I have had to quit a substance (tobacco, caffeine, etc), slowly tapering has been the most effective method for me. Rather than suddenly opening a large habitual gap, it slowly shrinks the gap and allows me to acclimate gradually.
