Day 6 and I'm quitting cigarettes too
Day 6. Feeling strong regarding not drinking today. I just smoked my last cigarette and am quitting those today too. Am I mad to be quitting both at the same time. I have patches, so I'm not too worried about nicotine withdrawals but is this a wise move?
Well I would think it is a wise move. It will be rough and you will be tested like no other. Once you get over the initial hump it won't be so bad. Keep your guard up you AV will try to get you to fail. Good job on the 6 days keep it up and good luck
Doing positive things is alway a wise move....just take it easy on yourself..
I had quit drinking and gave up smoking; cold turkey...so tough!
In hindsight, I would have taken it a little easier, focused on one bad habit at a time.
While I did stay a non-smoker I did go back to drinking...unfortunately.
The drinking lasted for about 18 months on and of, now I am back on track and I am happily a non-drinker and a non-smoker : )

That's my next venture! But one thing at a time. Ive found since I stopped drinking that I am smoking even more for some reason. Like you say they go hand in hand. Im on day 13 now and when Im ready I will also quit smoking.

The first time I stopped drinking, I also gave up cigarettes pretty soon after. They were intertwined for me, so giving up one made it easier to give up the other.
I will say I focused on giving up drinking as the primary. If I slipped on the smoking, that was forgivable. Relapse on the drinking was a 100% guarantee I'd smoke and do all sorts of other bad, so I picked one as the main focus. Congrats on Day 6!
