Trade off: If the choice is between alcohol poisoning and a single joint, I would opt for the latter.

I might be persuaded: to admit that there could be some calming or tranquilizing value in a marijuana cigarette. But the smoking part DOES carry some risk. Since you are so committed to your sobriety, I think it would be the wisest choice to develop other, non-chemical strategies to promote relaxation and tranquility: yoga, meditation, a hot bath. Congratulations on moving in the right direction. Stay well:)
