I've been sober for 13 months, and during that time tried unsuccessfully to quit cigarettes at least 6 or 7 times.
Smoking and drinking went hand in hand with me, but smoking proved to be the harder to let go of. I couldn't drink without smoking but I could smoke without a drink! Weird.
I'm now 7 weeks or so without a cigarette and feel really confident this time around.
Lots of people manage to quit both together but I just couldn't. In the end I prioritised my drinking.
Of course, now I've quit them both, I'm finding the next addiction of too much sugar (which was always a borderline obsession anyway) has taken off big time....sigh. At least it won't kill me like the other 2 I guess! X
