6 months sober, started smoking again
6 months no alcohol, doing the work, meeting w/therapist, full check up with doc (honest about my alcoholism), taking meds to handle anxiety and depression—overall feeling great BUT I started smoking cigs again
I’m feeling not good about it. I feel like I “need” to be abusing something/anything and since it’s no longer alcohol I picked up the smokes again
Alcohol was killing me in so many ways, and smoking will kill me in others
Looking for advice from others who may have had similar issue and advice
I feel like smoking is the same as drinking—I’m sabatoging me, hiding to smoke, disappointing others and killing my self — why did I pick them up again? And they sucked me right back in. 5 years quit and right back where I started. Haven’t confessed to therapist/doctor yet—those appointments are next week. Any help/insight appreciated.
