I'm sorry you are suffering and I know that when we are suffering we reach out to anything that will alleviate the pain. However, I know that alcohol makes depression worse in the long run, so it would be best if you could do without the alcohol. There are groups to help. As far smoking, I gave up cigarettes after smoking for almost 30 years. I have not had a cigarette in 32 years. It's the best thing I ever did except for having my daughter. My trick was my GameBoy. It's hard to smoke when you are playing Mario Bros. ;-) I would play non-stop for hours and it helped me break the cycle. Find something you love more that cigarettes and replace them with it.

I hope when you give up the combo that the depression will lift. I know it will do wonders for your self-esteem. Good luck.
