    Hi suez,
    I quit smoking March 1, 2008. I used quitnet as one of my tools. I started a thread in the fitness section about my experience, and others' too, you might check it out. Also there is a thread in the research forum about nicotine and alcohol.

    With me the 2 go hand in hand. I'm finding that without the smokes, I don't really care to drink. You won't regret giving up the nasty habits!

        Divide and conquer V full frontal attack.

        I am four days AF and would love to stop smoking too. But is it to soon to take on two bad habits at once?? Hay, if I only had two bad habits it might not be so hard, but I think I have about five major bad habits to overcome!

        The difficulty is that they are all related and feed of each other e.g. smoking leads to drinking ? drinking leads to smoking etc. If I could get rid of them all at once I would have nothing to trip me up?? Divide and conquer V full frontal attack.

          Hi Suez,

          Good for you for taking on the smokes. They are a huge health agitator. It's probably tough to tackle both, but since they're so closely related it's probably a good idea. I smoked for about 5 years some 30 years ago. I quit because it was really just a stupid habit for me, and I hadn't been at it so long that quitting was a major deal. The booze, however, has turned out to be a much greater challenge. I would think that you will feel so much better. One thing I did when I quit was start cardio exercise. The lungs thought I was totally kidding, but it did help! Best to you. You know where we are when you need an extra boost.

            Hi guys
            I quit both at the same time on 1 April too - with the help of champix for the first 30 days - magic stuff that (for me anyway - not for everyone though I know). Now almost 5 months NF and modding along nicely on the AL. I had to quit both at once seeing as they fed off each other and the biggest binge drinking trigger for me was smoking - so I have to remember at all times that I am only one cigarette away from being back to that AL binger person I so despise. I am still amazed every day that it is working. When I started modding first and had a couple of drinks the craving to smoke was HUGE and I almost caved a couple of times - but I am over that now and just have to be careful not to drink on an empty stomach or have more than 2/3 drinks at any one time.
