Anxiety - Grabbed ???

Its unique. I'd go for it! No-one ever forgets a good shirt and tie combo. :) Well, I went to the Eden project (a giant new age garden concept) two years ago wearing that shirt. After a while I got hot (ok it was an excuse to leave my family and smoke) so went outside and sat down and smoked. My sister joined later me a bit later leaving my parents in there looking at huge trees. Anyway, two hours go by and we're getting worried. Eventually a member of staff came up and said 'OH That is your son!' and smiled. Apparently not only had we (a 30 year old and a 26 year old) been reported as missing children but also my parents could not spot me with THAT SHIRT on...twice..from 20 feet away! Hearing Johns story about getting noticed reminded me of the above. No more sneaking off to smoke for me.

My doctor prescribed a 6 months course. Think she knew I was hard core? I have been just taking one every other day for a month now. I think we should use all the tools we have. John smart move calming things down with a Chantix :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/21/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 153 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,060 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $994.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 21 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 13 [B]Seconds:[/B] 57

My doctor knew how hard quitting is for me so she put me on it for four months and if I want to stay on it all I have to do is call her. But I am now on week sixteen. My thought process now is "do you really want to through all those days away and start with day one again? Don't think so." Also my habits are changeing. Thoughts, yes I am going to have them, but I (we) don't have to act on them. I like looking for different pictures. And I like your shirt LOL Keep the Quit Sparky [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]4/30/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 113 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,130 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $339.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 15 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 8

John, Good choice in grabbing the Chantix. I have put myself in anxiety therapy and I seem to cry more often that I used to. I know that this will all calm down in time and I will be so happy I didn't smoke. You and Sue are great role models!
