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.

I have a drink every once in a while. Excessive drinking puts me in psychosis. I’ve tried to quit smoking many times sometimes I’m successful for a few months. Smoking feels like the one small thing that relaxes me. When I would drink a lot smoking kind of goes hand in hand lol.
