My experience with AA and NA meetings was that everyone drank coffee and smoked cigarettes like crazy. Seems like everyone used nicotine and caffeine to replace their DOC. Last time I went To a meeting I was neither a tobacco or caffeine user, but I was still on heroin.
I'm off heroin now and after condemning cigarettes my entire life I now smoke a pack a day. I pour one cup of coffee when I wake up and rarely drink the entire thing, caffeine/stimulants were never my thing though. Then again neither was nicotine...although I did used to use chewing tobacco once in awhile because the buzz enhanced the effects of opiates. I don't ever see myself using caffeine beyond my 1/2 - 1 cup of coffee in the morning.
Anyways, I was wondering how many people here started using tobacco AFTER they got clean off their DOC. Or if your tobacco use increased markedly after you got clean. And do you still use it? Same question for coffee? I almost exclusively visit this site on my phone so forgive me if there is a way to start a thread with a poll.
