Sounds like the addictions are feeding one another. I definitely had a similar thing with smoking and drinking. I tried many times to give them up one at a time but it didn't work so in the end I did both at once. I still have a sugar and caffeine addiction but I am working on that. Some addictions are more damaging that others so yeah, it is okay to do one at a time, but if you find that one is making the other worse then it is good to do them all at once. I know so many people who quit smoking normal cigarettes and took up weed, and one friend who quit drinking so much and took up speed... It seems to be a common thing to swap one thing for another, especially with mind altering substances.
