Good morning and Hello Beaches :welcome:

I'm behind as usual this morning, but if you start at the top of this thread you should see what all I used to help me quit. I think it's really important to be educated about the addiction or habit and really prepare yourself to quit. I highly recommend Allen Carr's book. I also used hypnotherapy and subliminal cd's. And I had to quit drinking beer, because that is the only time I smoked. That's how I found this place, and I started at Quitnet.com, but like this forum so much better! There are more health risks to smokers that drink!

Keep coming back here, ok?

Our legislation passed a smoking ban starting next summer. I think it's communism, I feel for the businesses such as bars, etc. But I'm glad I don't have to stress out about not being able to light up when and where I want to!

Hi all
I have must be about 40 days or so NF and I am pretty sure I will never smoke again. I have also come off the champix now too as I think I have broken the bing drinking/smoking pattern and although I personally didnt really experience any side effects it was a bit worrying all the bad press. I would definitely go back on it again if I felt any urges to drink/smoke and it was truly a miracle drug for me. As for the alcohol for some reason my brain does not really crave it now compared with before when I would be gagging for both drink and fags every 3/4 days. I have come to the conclusions that because my brain was used to the double whammy of nicotene and alcohol at the same time in a massive dose "it" (my brain that is) is now saying well %#$@ you there isnt much point in drinking if you wont give us any cigs! I am starting to think that I am actually lucky I was a binge drinker/smoker as it seems if one goes so does the other. I could be wrong of course (wouldnt be the first time!) but who cares for now I am not smoking and have no desire to drink either so its all good.
Well done every one else too.
Looking forward to keeping up with your progress. BB do tell us all about the AA conference.

WOW! boozehag - that is SOOOOO great!!!! Sounds like you are well on your way! I love this thread because of the success each of you are having, and sounding pretty darn good along the way. It keep me in check - and motivated to keep on going! :goodjob:

barbones, let us know how your conference went when you get back. It sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I am dying to meet other soberites so I can go out and do things with people that don't drink. Only because I know I am weak, and don't have the self confidence yet to abstain around others drinking.

Have a good one everyone!
