Hi everyone,
I am still on the AF journey and have been AF for 18 of the past 19 days - the slip I had was early on so I havent had anything to drink for 14 days. I'm eating really well, taking 6000mg Lglut, liver regenerator, spirilina and a host of other antioxidants etc. I stocked up on chocolates etc but don't want them ( is that the L-glut??).. sleeping well although taking time to fall asleep.
The problem I am having now is that since i stopped drinking, I have been smoking much much more and this is stopping me from exercising because I sure don;t feel like doing any cardio or aerobic after my lungs are full of smoke.
for 6 months before I stopped drinking.. wine and cigarettes were always intertwined and I originally wanted to give up alcohol, cigarettes and start going to the gym the same day... now I realise that was insane.
Now though after a bit of AF time, I do want to give up smoking but am wondering if it is still to early to attempt that??. I used to love smoking with wine but now i smoke with non al drinks and really want to stop so I can do the exercise I want to.. i'm doing the other things its just the smoking and its getting me down a bit because I keep saying 'today I'm going to stop smoking'.. just like I did with booze.. but find myself lighting up after breakfast and feeling bad about it.
I know a few people here have talked about the relationship between these 2 addictions.. and I would be very grateful for some advice or strategies. or just to hear of particular experiences . I DO want to give up and have got the patches ( I do need some kind of nicotine replacement and the patches have worked for me in the past ) and have read 'Allen Carr'.
Does the ODAT mantra work with smoking ??
Its making me kind of stressed because while my liver, kidneys, brain function, mood, emotions etc are slowly recovering, my lungs are taking a battering ..
:thanks:
