Drinking and smoking and quitting it all at once

Hi

Finishing up day 3 of no drinking.

I guess I am wondering about quitting smoking at the same time from people who regularly smoked and then chain smoked also while drinking. I find that alcohol has no desirability to me if I can't smoke while I do it. It makes sense to me that quitting smoking could mean I may never care about drinking again but I just went 52 hours without a cigarette and it drove me crazy, lol. Horrible mood swings not because of no vodka but I just wanted to smoke. So tonight I went and smoked a cig... *sigh* Now I wonder if I keep smoking how long it will be before I pick up drinking again.

For those that have experience with this, do you think it's best to try again to stop smoking now while I am quitting alcohol or should I give it more time before quitting smoking? It's stressful not to smoke during this but I definitely do not want a drink if I can't smoke.

Opinions?
