Drinking Alcohol and Quitting Smoking

[YoungAtHeart]

It's the time of year for office, friends' and family get togethers. I want to caution those who are quitting smoking to be careful when drinking alcohol. It's a good idea to abstain early in your quit, and to limit consumption even as you move further along on it. It can cloud your thought process. It might even have you let down your guard and think, “just one will be OK.” There will never be such a thing as “just one” to an addict! It will always, maybe not right away but always, lead you back to being a full-time smoker.

Here's an article to further inform you:

This site is littered with tales of quits lost to alcohol. Don't let's add yours.

Be careful out there. A quit is a terrible thing to lose!
