Today is my first day of not drinking beer and I am also trying to stop smoking. I really hope it works out.

It helps if you replace the beer with a club soda or another drink you enjoy!

I'm just trying to avoid drinking any beer because my husband still drinks but I am hell bent on quitting. I'm wondering if I will be able to do it but it's worth a try.

Go through the herbal tea section at your health food store. Read the lists of ingredients and decide if they sound good to you. Try them at home and think how one or another ingredient, to your taste, is unnecessary, good, better, essential.
Pare the ingredients down to the most important 3 or 4. You are very likely to find them online but keep something in mind, you may well be able to start with fresh and have better quality. Play with ratios in your tea kettle and while you are enjoying all this experimenting think of alternative sources for the ingredients. One of those sources might be right outside your backdoor

chewing on a toothpick can help for cravings and replacing the oral and digitS' (aka fingers ) habit.
i smoked at a very early age (from 8 to 13) but when i started smoking weed i told myself i could do one or the other but not both and so i quit smoking cigarettes. i weeded myself off weed eventually and was done with it by the time i went off to college.
if you need more help there are various things that can work, but to me it was simply because i hated having to depend upon them to get through whatever was going on and the smell.
back then the price was not as much of an issue, but these days they are both expensive enough that just thinking about all the unneeded expense can be a big motivator.
much luck and good wishes.

Thank you. I did really good last night because normally I wouldn't drink any less than 5 but I only drank 2.

Thank you. I am taking Chantix. It works great just as long as I don't drink beer. I love drinking water so it's a bit of a detox for the nicotine. I'm going to try to start a daily ritual for when to go to bed, wake up and also work out for strength building.chewing on a toothpick can help for cravings and replacing the oral and digitS' (aka fingers

Thank you. I'm not really big on drinking tea( unless it's strong sun tea with very little sugar), but I have been wanting to try matcha tea and since I have holy basil I would like to add some leaves from that to it. Maybe try some lemon grass as well.Go through the herbal tea section at your health food store. Read the lists of ingredients and decide if they sound good to you.
