Alcohol and quitting

I saw a message from a member who thought because of the way she felt addicted to cigarettes and alcohol that she would never be able to live without either. Now she doesn't smoke and only drinks occasionally, I don't want any people in recovery from other addictions to get a false message from this comment.
Breaking free from the grip of one active addiction does not somehow create a state that other addictions are somehow cured. If a person truly has a physical addiction to alcohol as a smoker, he or she still has that same addiction as an ex-smoker.
From the original post here:
One special note I need to make here. When I say everything you do as a smoker, you can do as an ex-smoker, the reverse is also true for some activities. If you were a recovering addict to alcohol or any other substance before, you couldn't use that substance as a smoker and you can't as an ex-smoker either without a full blown relapse.
