I can only really talk about this one from a personal point of view, from my own experience.
Everyone’s going to be different in this particular instance because some people can
give up the two of them together, other people can’t. You’re only going to know when
you try yourself.
With me, I quit smoking four years ago, I think, a good while ago. I always found that
I could never stop smoking, I tried over 100 times by the way, and I found I could never
stop smoking while I was drinking. I really had to do both of them at the same time.
I could give up drinking, when I was smoking. Every time I gave up drinking, I was smoking,
not a bother. I wouldn't think about the alcohol. But the other way round, I couldn’t do.
Out of the two things, the alcohol and the nicotine, the hardest for me was the nicotine,
without a shadow of a doubt. I took me a long, long time to eventually get a handle on the
smoking. And regardless of anything else, when I did stop, when I was off them for a
year, it was such a relief, for me to have cracked that first year. I just couldn't do
it. I mean, the longest I’d done before was when I quit drinking. So, it was eleven
months, or something like that. I’d never done the year.
Is it possible to quit alcohol and cigarettes at the same time, most definitely!
