Over the last year or so, I've cut back my alcohol to weekends and have been taking gummies/drinking THC beverages to take the edge off on weekdays.
THC gives me brain fog the next morning but alcohol has more negative effects, I feel lethargic/lazy for days after drinking. It feels like alcohol just completely depletes my dopamine levels and leaves me in the negative for days after.
I've decided to try to cut back further on the drinking (goal is only on special occasions/once or twice monthly) and continue to use THC. For anyone who has done this long term, how did it go for you?
Since both alcohol and THC effect dopamine levels, but in different ways, what are your feelings on how the alcohol 'hangover' is compared to THC? Did your alcohol cravins eventually subside when substituting THC? Is harm reduction an effective tool for quitting or did you just end up with an addiction to both?
