I quit for 5 years no smoking or tobacco products. I felt great, didn't drink that much and was breathing alot better. It seemed that all at once stressors were getting to me and I wasn't seeing a therapist at the time. So I started drinking heavily again and smoking about a pack a day. That lasted for 7 years. Now I'm off the sauce, made up my mind to stop again and in the event of stressors, I will make sure to discuss it with a support group or therapist so I don't have to poison myself with anything, that includes negative thinking/emotions. I was going to wait until Saturday to stop, but I said, "what the heck, let's make it early and quit on Thursday, why wait?"
