I triage approach makes the most sense. My AS does not want to quit everything all at once.

When I was in treatment we had to give it all up.
Maybe because that is always how I have been taught, that is the only way that makes sense in my head and what works for me. I've done it several times.
Never been a smoker, but had plenty of other vices.......
But you have to really be ready to give it all up, it's a huge mental stress,
that my therapists were really trained to help us deal with when we did it.
That was my experience.
