I rarely drink alcohol or coffee. Alcohol because it was making me dumb shit after only two or three drinks and coffee because it makes my heart race. I like the taste of both tho. One ice-cold beer once in a while and one espresso if I need to be awake. It's funny because now a single drink will make me a little tipsy and one coffee will make me drive through the night. In my teens and twenties I was abusing of all substances but since I went straight edge just the slightest stimulant makes a big effect.
It is my suggestion, that you should try to make your peace with those substances, but consuming them in minimal ammounts, both because they will produce great effects on you and because you want to keep them under control, trust yourself in that you can make good use of them without abusing.
At the end of the day, any method you choose to know yourself, will work, for you are ONE with God and all the universe. You form your own reallity, with your own beliefs.
Thanks for the good wishes
