Now I've got to stop making those same excuses!
Thanks. Yes I definitely think a lot of it is mental. Its like most things...if you really put your mind to it you can do it. I always loved to smoke when going out and drinking and I thought that would be the hardest part of quitting for me. As a result I ended up not going to bars anymore which also helped me cut WAY back on drinking. So its been a double positive!
