Hi Frank - I have been drinking a large bottle of red wine every night (sometimes almost two) for the past 3.5 years. I am now 52 years old and have smoked at least 1 pack of cigarettes a day since I was 17. My cancer diagnosis has really scared me and I have stopped drinking and stopped smoking as of today. Sure, its very difficult to stop both at once but I'm not stupid. I'm only taking it one day at a time. If I can just stop for today I'm OK with that. Did you have to have a cancer diagnosis to get yourself to stop? I'd love to hear about your experience.

George
