Don't Learn the Hard Way

I am reading here recently of a lot of past quits being lost from drinking alcohol.  It is KNOWN that alcohol clouds your thinking, and that drinking and smoking just go together.  It's easy to think "just one won't hurt" when your brain is addled by drink.

It's not worth it.  A quit is a terrible thing to lose.

No smoking bars are the answer

No smoking friends is the answer

No money for cigarettes is the answer

Self driving car is the answer

No, no smoking is the answer

and, drinking norm'ly fuels disaster.

This is so true unfortunately.  I'm thinking about not touching a drink for at least a year!

If you can't find the straw - don't smoke over it.

Cutting way back on the booze was a must for me.   And it's been a good move in more ways than one!  I can now do an occasional light beer, but mostly water and coffee.

About the Author
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.
