Hello everyone

I haven't written a blog in a long time because, I had nothing new to say. I have been on here everyday reading blogs though. I knew I wouldn't be able to quit smoking if I kept drinking and I was really struggling with that so I went to detox for 5 days. Couldn't smoke and that would have been the perfect time to quit smoking as well but I lit up as soon as I got in the car. WHAT IS  WRONG WITH ME????? I missed my smoking cessation class so I'm not going to worry about that at this time. I have cut down to about 1/2 pack/day (from 2 packs/day). I'm smoking 1/2 cig at a time and writing them down. My new quit day is 6/22. I also need to re-establish myself in mental health. I started back on my meds in detox but all that drinking and being off my meds has put me in a depression. In the meantime I will do the readings and stick with reading blogs. When I get down to 6 cigs/day I will quit if that's before 6/22.

Looking forward to getting back on the train!
