never say never

Some medical professionals advise use of nicotine substitutes for a slow and gradual cessation. 15yrs ago on a new years eve at the stoke of midnight I stopped cigarettes and alcohol together cold turkey. Lasted 5 yrs until seeing a pub band and had a drink and cigarette. Have been now alcohol free 5yrs, so don't have that as a tempter to also smoke

Knowing yourself and removing tempting triggers is definitely a good move here. Congrats on making the decision to quit drinking and to now quit smoking as well .. You were successful by cold turkey last time, so is that your method of choice this time as well?
You have been around this block before so familiar with the neighbourhood. You should have no trouble finding your way to freedom. It would be interesting to know how you find this journey and how it may differ from your last one. Keep your eyes on the road, and no detours!
