Hello Amy.. I am quitting this month so by far no exspert. I have only tried to quit once before. Once I drank alchohol it was all over. The urge to smoke was nuts when I drank. Just a thought

My dh quit 4 times. This time he is smoke free going on 2 years now.He no longer drinks tho. Maybe try using a twizzle stick to chew on when drinking? I wish you all the luck
