I've decided to let one of my avoidances slide this new year. Just so you know I have a real problem with both of these. I'm unable to drink socially, and every time I try to wind up downing entire bottles of wine in secret. Usually in my bedroom using the computer before bed.
As for cigarettes, that just goes without saying. If I have one now I want another one again in an hour. It's pretty much guaranteed.
But I love them both, and I've gone without for several years now. This year, I decided I want to enjoy life more and permit myself to indulge in one of the two. I figure maybe I can manage one of these vices alone.
one vice at a time.
I'm not a total saint. I smoke grass but that's never created a problem for me. Cigs and alcohol always seem to create demand for more cigs and alcohol, at least that's how it works with respect to my personal brain chemistry.

You're all to fucking slow to reply. I've made my decision, and smokes it is.
Not that there's anything wrong with booze. I make this decision from a purely practical place. I must accept there's a real possibility I'll become addicted again, and it's easier to appear normal while addicted to cigarettes than while addicted to booze.

But I just read this topic. I'd say kick the smokes first, it's much harder to quit smoking than it is to quit drinking in my experience. Smoking is expensive, unhealthy and it makes you stink and have yellow teeth. Also cancer. Stop smoking immediately. Thanks.

Which one do you enjoy more? Which is a bigger problem?

I know I couldn't wait. That's the type of addict I am.

Good luck with that. The first time you go out drinking, I'm guessing you will break down and have a cigarette. If you do a good amount of smoking and drinking, having a drink is a big trigger for smoking.
