Your decision to smoke and drink coffee has nothing to do with your decision to drink. They are all based on false beliefs.

That's like saying I'm fat because eating "helped" me quit smoking. There is no 'need' to overeat, there is no 'need' to smoke, there is no 'need' to drink too much alcohol.

I used to think that if I only started smoking again, (quit in '87 after about 19 years) then I could lose some weight. Then I see some huge guy struggle to get out of a van with a cigarette.

I'm not criticizing anyone for having addictions, I'm just saying that they're separate things. I don't think you'd encourage anyone to quit drinking by taking up cigarettes?
