I quit drinking almost 2 years ago, and have been to AA meetings. I'm always amused by the number of overweight/obese peo  546a  ple and smokers there. I still smoke pot, and I always take it with a grain of salt when some people are opinionated about all "mind altering substances". I would consider caffeine to be a mind-altering substance and I have the potential to abuse it, but I'm not gonna stop drinking caffeine. Plus smoking and obesity are both a huge risk for cancer, heart disease and a shorter lifespan, but addictions they apparently can't be freed from, lol.
