You know come to think of it, when I visualize the gross Mucinex guy saying "Hey cutie, I'll met ya at the Valero. Bring your lighter and we'll burn one on the way home (wink, wink)" it's kind of easy to say no.

I think this is such a good post, I am changing my thinking while I am on the Chantix, I think it makes a difference. I don't want to be denying myself something the rest of my life, I want to not want to anymore. To me that is such a big difference.

Hi there and welcome to the SSC! Good luck with your quit this time. You can make it. I quit before for 3 months and got stressed out and started smoking again. This time I am using Chantix and it has worked very well for me. I am also changing my thinking about smoking, I read a book by Allen Carr which made me think of smoking in a different light. I also worked through the tools you see to the left, there in the glove compartment. I thought the SSC program was very helpful.
Good luck to you

I enjoyed smoking.
We all have to die of something. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow
Not everyone who smokes will die of cancer or copd.

I have been thinking about it quite a bit too. I think your mind makes things harder or easier, it just depends on what you think about. Even things other people say if you pay attention can drag you down. Like "quitting smoking is so hard, I hear it is harder than quitting heroin" or "how is it going? I'll bet you're ready to kill someone by now" or "the fact is most people eventually go back to smoking." Good grief.
