Anyone else ever find that if you ever try to quit smoking (cigarettes mind you) that your disorder gets so out of whack...in turn making it 2x as unlikely you'll ever actually quit, or is it just me

smoking is an anti-anxiety behavior, which is why it's so hard to quit (we go back to it because it relieves the anxiety).

I do not have an ED but have succussfully quit smoking (3/1/2005) and it was then that I learned that smoking is an anti-anxiety behavior. So, I just wanted to share that.... possibly the ED has some anti-anxiety aspects to it also?
