it's only been a week since i quit drinking, and eventually i would like to quit smoking. my concern is that it currently provides me with a very reliable coping mechanism, albeit not the healthiest of choicces. i've smoked for close to fifteen years, and currently smoke nearly a pack a day. am i expecting too much of myself to try to kick nicotine this early in my alcoholism recovery process? i see it as my next step to being more healthy and increasing my vitality. how soon did others quit nicotine and tobacco after they quit their alcohol or narcotic? what steps did you take? did quitting tobacco make it more difficult to stay clear of your primary addiction?

thank you in advance?
