Question for cig smokers
I am on day 2 sober. Quit smoking cigarettes aswell. But feel it might be too much withdrawal. So I decided to keep smoking cigarettes for now. Anyone have any insight or experience with this
I say get rid of the cigarettes. They will probably not help you stay off the alcohol, and may actually increase the desire to drink overall. After 72 hours the nicotine is out of your system, and you just have to not start again.

There's an app for counting how many cigs you have in a day,it might help you cut back a bit,or an e-cig,drinking and smoking are bothterrible but I think keeping off the booze is most important,wishing you strength
I'm also a smoker. The thing about quitting anything is having a true desire to do so. I have a true desire to quit drinking...it's mind altering. I'll get around to the cigarettes, but it doesn't alter my thinking, behavior or abilities. For me, I choose one thing at a time. Great job on day 2, and best of luck with the cigarettes!! Don't drink today...you CAN do this!!

Thank you all for the input. I know that by quitting drinking eventually I will quit smoking since I smoke more when I drink. Had a tough day today day 3 no work until Tuesday fought the urge to drink by cleaning the entire garage.

Last time I stopped drinking I waited three weeks before attempting to stop smoking. Eleven months later I picked up a drink then a few nights later started smoking again. Alcohol destroys my will power where nicotine is concerned.
I'm going to quit smoking again next week which gives me about a week to get over the initial hump of stopping drink. I know if worst comes to worst I'd pick up a cigarette rather than a drink and I'm ok with that. I'll give it a shot but no pressure.
Caffeine you will pry from my cold, dead hands

Sometimes the craving for a cigarette can be interpreted as a craving for alcohol so you need to be vigilant.
I had to quit both at once because when I drank I wanted to smoke a cigarette and vice versa.
Worked out ok for me - I was so sick from alcohol withdrawal and associated problems the giving up ciggies had a barely negligible effect..

If you can do it at this time -- great.
But, you may really need one every once in a while at this time.
