HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, it is understandable that your doctor has asked you to quit both.
Alcohol use can worsen depression and any other mental illness and smoking can sometimes be used as a way of dealing with issues in some persons.
In addition both alcohol and smoking have negative effects on the body as well.
It can be difficult to quit a habit on your own, if this the case, you would need to enlist the help of a friend or family member or doctor or organisation.
I hope this helps
