I really did!!!!!

Ok as most of you know i am AF now and i was doing great. No dramas, i was happy and everything was going ok until i decided to quit smoking.
So i did quit, it was not easy but i managed. Now, as soon as i quit smoking i got obsessed with the idea that i should not be AF, i should learn how to moderate.

It is not alcohol devil talking here, NO, it is NICOTINE devil. My mind knows that the only way to force me to smoke again is through alcohol. HA im so glad, cos i know that it will pass. I know you all think i am nuts (well i am) but i am soooo happy now.

Good night and sleep well!!

Network, it is funny here. People post all kinds of things, there is an overwhelming amount of information. But each of us has to find our own answers. I'm glad you found one, I bet there will be more. Hang on here and you will find your own path.

PS I like your avatar.

A good theory Network.
When I stopped smoking many years ago, my drinking increased, so maybe I am part proof of your test theory! Did you weave your avatar yourself?

You know, Network......you just may be on to something here. The Alcohol Beast and the Nicotine Beast working you to get both what they want. Let's see what you do with this new found information. You say you are a warrior.....seems to me this is a valuable piece of intelligence.

Yes, it will pass. The evil duo AL & NIC. :b&d: :goodjob:

Yep very familiar with the evil twins Al and Nico!
We had a thread about that a while back and some of us came to the conclusion that we were smokaholics rather than bog standard alcoholics. Smoking enabled the drinking and drinking enabled the smoking but if you managed to get rid of one you effectively got rid of both but you do have to fight the fight on both cravings or a combined cravings for a while. The L-glut is good to help with this.
