Congratulations on quitting smoking, tocevoD !
Change your quit date from 31/12/18 to the date you actually quit smoking.
(so we can plan all your celebrations)
Drinking and smoking can often be real problems in a quit.
I have friends that only smoke when they drink and then go weeks without smoking.
It still means they have a nicotine addiction and it is the addiction we must confront.
For me, I kept away from alcohol for a few weeks and then just went for it.
I drank and didn't have any craves that I couldn't/wouldn't defeat.
It is a state of mind. Either you smoke or you don't smoke.
Drinking will not lead you to smoking if you don't smoke,
it will only lead to smoking if you want it to. If you are sabotaging your quit, you will undoubtedly succeed.
I would ask you to consider why you relapsed.
Alcohol only lightens our inhibitions but, there may be a chink in your armor that lets addiction through.
Your commitment needs to be rock solid w/ no misgivings or doubts and you need to be alert, awake and aware.
Putting Nicotine Addiction to sleep is serious business, a formidable opponent and not to be taken lightly at any time.
Hope Alan Carr can help you understand, he has helped so many.
This vid from our friend, Joel Spitzer, may also give you some clarity.
