Quitting smoking is a nightmare

I always intended to quit smoking and drinking together because I only ever did them together. I never smoked without alcohol.

However, a few weeks without alcohol and cravings wise things are not too bad. Tobacco however is a different story, and I'm afraid to say I've been smoking a couple of times a week.

Maybe both at the same time was just too much all at once, I'm losing weight as well so it is quite a lot.

And I was worried smoking would be a big trigger but it hasn't actually been the issue I thought.

Because I do need to quit. I was so focused on quitting drinking, because that was the thing really screwing up my life that I didn't pay much mind to smoking. Anything that wasn't making me collapse at local shops wasn't my main concern. But my doctor has said that's my main risk long term.

Any fellow ex smokers/current smokers got any tips/suggestions for how to make it through.
