Quit Drinking First — and Smoking Got Worse

This member believed they were only a casual smoker with no addiction. Then they quit alcohol — and found smoking increased. Frightened by what drinking had done, they finally turned to quitting cigarettes too, after their mother's quiet words, giving up cigars, cigarettes and even the lighter collection.
