Lots of parties abound today! I wanted to remind everyone (and inform the newbies) that drinking alcohol while quitting smoking can lead to big trouble.
Drinking lessens your inhibitions and can lead to thoughts that "just one will be OK." It never will be OK. "The law of physiological addiction states that administration of a drug to an addict will cause reestablishment of the dependence on that substance (whyquit.com)." Just one will always, maybe not right away but always, lead to another and then another until you are right back where you started....a smoker needing to quit, It's just how addiction works,.
Just don't do it early in your quit. Well into your quit, it's still a good idea to limit the amount.
This site is littered with tales of quits lost to alcohol. Please don't add yours to them.
A quit is a terrible thing to lose.
