Day 17 sober!
Day 17 for me, I'm feeling good, no cravings for a drink and going pretty well. My only real concern is that I started smoking again the last 5 days about 6 a day. I think out of boredom I did this and not feeling great about this as I quit 4 years ago. Don't know how I should be thinking or doing about this. My friend says it's like quitting an addiction and getting a new one. Any feedback about this situation would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to see the doctor for rehab for the alcohol in about 10 days.

i'm one of the rare people who quit smoking before they got sober. i quit almost 4 years ago, and i'm glad i did.
as you said, you are replacing one addiction for another, so i would simply tell you to replace this one for one that dosen't do so much damage to your body.
if your bored, get an ipod or an e-reader or a laptop and occupy yourself. get a video game system or take up a hobby. smoking is basically paying a huge company something like $5 a pack to really screw up your life.
good luck, i know it's a b!tch to quit, but like i said, if you can find something new to do, it'll make your life so much better.
