Drinking Alcohol While Quitting Smoking

It is just a bad idea.  This site is littered with stories of quits lost because "just one" sounded OK after a few drinks.  There is never "just one" to an addict.  It will lead you right back to a dependence on nicotine - every time.  Here is just one story:

"Ok I'm sad 2 say after one week i "craved in"...i really think i could have made it....Starting playing cards, then had a drink, & b4 i knew it i was smoking.   Man.....I am so pissed at myself but....

Please don't add your tale of woe to the others.  Drinking and quitting just don't mix.

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.
