I quit smoking 02/18/2007 and I feel terrific! Some things I did:

1. Chantix: A fairly new smoking cessation drug available by prescription. Blocks the receptor site that wants nicotine. Wonderful drug!

2. Joined a smoking cessation message board. Killed a lot of time and met wonderful people. Couldn't have doneit without them.

3. Drank lots and lots of ice water and sucked on cinnamon sticks.

4. Wrote a "good-bye" letter to cigarettes.

5. Envisioned myself as a nonsmoker.

6. Kept remembering what the early days of quitting were like. Even with Chantix and support I don't want to go through that again.

7. Told only people who would be supportive. Some of my co-workers probably would have wanted to sabotage me. They were kept out of my loop.

I'm curious as to what online message board you used. Was it the one that's part of Freedom from Smoking? That one seems to be pretty active.

Thanks,
Wayne
