Drinking Alcohol and Nicotine Addiction

It is well known that alcohol lessens your inhibitions and best intentions.  One of our community members wrote: 

"..my 1st 2 attempts were ended suddenly by those famous last words in a bar... "would you mind if I stole a cigarette"... both times I didn't want to be a grub so I bought my own pack by the end of the night saying "of course I'll throw them away in the morning" and 2 years later, here I am on my 3rd attempt!!!"

Please don't take a chance. You really don;t know how much alcohol it takes for you to start thinking, "just one won't hurt."  It always will.

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.
