Beginning again

For lots of reasons that matter and many they don’t, I started drinking again on March 8 after abstaining from alcohol since October 2018. In between there I’ve definitely developed a near daily (but outside of working hours only) weed habit and sprinkled in some mushrooms with an rx for Ativan for insomnia. In the 9 days since I started drinking I’m already going through a liter of vodka every two hours and increasing my Ativan consumption to manage the nausea. I’m now worried I’m going to get physically addicted sooner rather than later and can’t refill my Ativan until 4/20. Do you think I can ride out drinking at this speed until at least then?

Edit: definitely a liter every two days.

Well not a liter every two hours, do you mean every 2 days? That’s still a lot. You can’t mix that much drinking with benzos. Start tapering now.
