    I was still smoking at the end of it. But I did find it very helpful.

    I don't think I could have eventually stopped without applying at least one of the strategies in that book.

    Again though, Alchohol and Valium dont mix well. If it was me I'd lay off the booze for the next couple of days until you feel like you are back to normal.

    On top of that, smoking can increase the rate at which Valium is eliminated from the body and reduce it's effectiveness so lay off the ciggies as well if you can.

    I won't. Had the meds at 7am or so, and valium is how they detox the junkies.
