Alcohol and Quitting Smoking

Over my years here, I have read of many quits being lost due to alcohol.  I will share words of wisdom from one of our community members to caution you not to drink alcohol when you are quitting smoking: 

"All kidding aside, I TOTALLY agree with you on staying away from alcohol. I lost a previous quit when I drank alcohol after recently quitting. Alcohol is incredibly risky to a recently quit person because if there's even the smallest thought about smoking in the back of the brain, it just makes it to easy to cave!"

Just don't  a quit is a terrible thing to lose!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
