Drinking Alcohol While Quitting Smoking

To borrow a phrase from MarilynH 

"..for if I drink I do not think."

A lot of quits have been ruined by the alcohol infused thought that "just one can't hurt."  It will ALWAYS lead to another for an addict - and then another and yet another until you are a full-time smoker and need to start back at Day One.

It's just a bad idea.  Please 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.
