Day 2 and feeling alright just a little foggy. The withdrawal to cigarettes sucks. I feel hungry and angry and have a tightness in my sternum. But I'm still marching on I cant stand ciggs anymore I walk up a flight of stairs and I'm winded. I think quiting ciggs will be harder then the alcohol especially since a lot of people around me smoke . Such a gross habit and very expensive .

I stopped smoking 20 years ago. After the first couple weeks, I never thought about smoking again.

Great decision!

I've just entered week 3 of no booze and no smokes. i've tried quitting smoking so many times before, but always failed when I felt comfortable enough to think I could drink without smoking.

The two really go hand in hand, and somehow, quitting both at the same time has made it so much easier. Cravings for one or the other still take turns, depending on the situation, but somehow my brain has managed to get itself out with the following:

Craving a smoke? "I haven't had any alcohol, so I definitely don't need to give in to this crave" (that's the nice version, in my head it's more like: "I'm not drunk so STFU", or "If I start with cigarettes, I'll be drinking again in no time and I definitely don't want to do that"

Craving a drink? "Can't have a drink or I'll get wasted tonight and smoke a pack while I'm at it"

So in some way, quitting smoking is making me not drink and quitting drinking is making me not smoke.

Day 2 of quiting smoking and drinking. And I totally get what your saying leeloo. Basically I was thinking the same thing. So far the worse withdrawals are from smoking . Very dizzy at times have a tightness on my stomach my mouth is so watery it drives me crazy. My chest kills me at times but I know it's all worth it. I was getting to a point during every cigarette I hated it and just wished I didn't smoke. These past 2 months I quit smoking and drinking so many times. My girlfriend thinks I'm sick in the head because of this but about 2 nights out of every week I would get down right hammered and quit smoking the next day . In my head thinking this is the last time but 2 or 3 days later do it all over again. This time something clicked and I'm ready this time . Maybe all my failed attempts finally made me ready I don't know. But im taking charge and taking back my life !
