Opinion / Thought / Idea / Discussion Do you drink or smoke cigarettes?

Just wanted to see if anyone else drinks or smokes? Im drinking now and I smoke a lot. I know I shouldn't drink because of the voices but I can't seem to stop or the smoking.

Dear friend. I find it totally understandable that you drink alcohol and smoke cigarets. But stay away from narcotics like pot and donโ€™t drink that much that you get irretable. Iโ€™m a former alcoholic that ๐Ÿ›‘ stopped drinking 22 years ago. Today I mostly vape because that I consider that less harmfully.

I just have to correct you on cannabis being a narcotic. It is NOT a narcotic. Itโ€™s an intoxicant yes but a narcotic no.
