Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi.
I understand your concern.

Daily alcohol craving and consumption indicate addiction to alcohol. Ciggarates contain nicotine.

Both are highly addictive and require proper De addiction to quit it.

For that you need strong internal motivation or self motivation to quit.

it can be done in phases like detoxification, treatment of withdrwal features by agoinst therapy and treatment of medical complications.

Motivational councelling is main backbone of treatment.

Consult psychiatrist or De addiction center for better assistance.

I hope I have answered your question.

Thank you.
