Breaking the Association Between Smoking and Drinking

"I have a terrible addiction with smoking when I drink alcohol, which I do usually one day during the week and on weekends. I don’t smoke any other time, but when I’m having cocktails I just huff the heaters down like there is no tomorrow. I have tried many times to quit. I’ll do fine for a week or two and then I’ll be with friends having cocktails and just get these crazy craving and I cave into them. People tell me that it should be easy to quit because I only smoke when I drink. You'd think it would be easy because I smoke so infrequently, but alcohol breaks my resolve every time. Help!"
