Alcohol and Quitting - Tale from the Crypt of Lost Quits

 "I had a few drinks and said what the heck I can handle one puff. The next day I was like wow, look at that,  I had one puff of a cig and I feel great today;  no cravings at all. And a little voice in my head said, " see you can handle an occasional cigarette!"That voice was oh,  so wrong. The next couple of  times I'd hang out with friends who smoked I would take a drag which would turn into two, which would turn into a whole cigarette. Before I knew it I bought myself a pack (just for the occasional use of course). And that's how it started and here I am now disappointed in myself.  I bought a Juul (which has way more nicotine then my system is used to) and now I need to quit again."

Please don't let this be you.  A crypt is a scary place to be, just like having to face another Day One.  Alcohol can fuzzy your decision making. 

Just don't chance it!  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.
