As someone in recovery, I have years of understanding what it is to justify my addictions. For example, you can choose to have a beer vs hard liquor. In the end, it is a choice between yourself and what is in front of you.
Then you should know about methadone and other harm reduction measures intended to help wean people from their addiction or make them safer while they are still under its grip. This is the same idea.
I appreciate the sentiment, but this is less beer versus liquor and more a lethal dose of rat poison vs corn syrup. Both bad, but one a fair but more damaging than the other. (simplifying a lot & not the greatest metaphor, but you get it)
Good luck with sobriety! o7
