    IV's & alcohol

    Im sure it will not hurt you but it might lower your immune system. Everytime I am feeling like I slightly might get sick and then I drink, I end up sick.

    A Hopeful Diary of Progress

    I could not imagine smoking with CF and Im a healthy CFer. How are you even able to function? I have pfts always in the 80-83% and I would feel like crap if I was smoking. I guess the only thing I can say is if you want to live bad enough, you will quit. Its all on you with what you want!
