Alcohol to Nicotine

They say the bit about trading one addiction for another. What started as picking up a cigarette to talk with a friend about their break up ended in buying a pack and has resulted in a few months of smoking.

Many times, I’ve dumped the pack in a bowl of water and thrown it away only to buy another pack in the next couple of days.

Tons of people in my home-group smoke/vape—but I’m kind of a private smoker. I see a lot of tendencies I have with alcohol transferring into cigarettes.

It’s still less than a pack a week… which is less than I did years ago, but I find myself doing it even when I don’t want to.

Advice?
