I have 84 days of being free of alcohol and cocaine. I am still smoking cigarettes and marijuana.

I understand the concept of cross-addiction, and I suppose that's what I'm doing with my smoking habits. I don't smoke weed all day every day, I can still function and do my day to day activities while using it, which I couldn't do with my other addictions. But I feel like I still use both weed and cigarettes to help manage my stress, and help me get out of my head so to speak.

Honestly I am more nervous about giving up my last two bad vices then I was with alcohol or cocaine. I don't feel like I am fully free, fully sober until I give up the smoking.

So anyways not posting this to hear of the dangers of smoking or how cross addiction works I am totally aware of both. Just needed to vent, so thanks for listening.

Anyone struggling or struggle with this same kind of situation?

I gave up cigarettes 5 weeks ago, I am glad I did but it was not easy. I did partly compensate the alcohol with cigarettes and coffee (I am not telling how much coffee I was drinking it was a lot.)

I glad to be rid of the smell and being addictive to the smokes – it was just a hassle. I sleep at lot better, I am more relaxed – there are a lot of advantages.

I do miss the terrible at times, but that is getting better.
