I've known many people, over the years, who have weaned themselves off alcohol and/or hard drugs with marijuana. At least marijuana is not physically addicting--though it can be mentally/psychologically addicting.
Weed is much safer than alcohol, hard drugs, some prescription meds and cigarettes. No one has ever OD'd from weed. Just be sure to get it from a reliable source--you wouldn't want tainted weed. Also, if lung cancer is a concern, weed can be vaporized--thereby eliminating the smoking element.

First the military has a vast support network for alcoholics. Second, apart from peoples opinion you see here, alcoholism is a psychological disease that requires a medical diagnosis. It is defined by why you drink, not when, how much or how often. If you truly think you have a problem go talk to one of the doctors.

Nope. Especially if you have an addictive personality. You're just switching from one vice to another.

Theres really no "good" substitute. But if you are worried about liver damage, then marijuana is a safer alternative for your liver. But not for the brain.
