I quit smoking after 18 years and think the same advice is applicable: remove yourself from the triggers.

Right before I got married I quit smoking and started using the patch. Once we got to our honeymoon spot the urge to smoke dropped off because I was in a new location. I didn’t use the patch at all and am still smoke free to this day.

If you can afford it, take a 5 day vacation and don’t drink. That may give you the mental distance to break the cycle and give up drink.
