Thankyou for suggestions, I am trying to find resources, and will probably explore this when I get with a counselor or pschiatrist. (Depression has also been an issue) I have found a couple of guided imagery sets on you tube and have tried those. I also read a suggestion, to concentrate on your pain as being a color - then a shape, to visualize the shape, then to change the shape in your mind. Not something that works really well at work, but at night laying in bed is has helped me with getting my mind off of pain and relaxing.

For example, I try to imagine the pain as the color blue, then as a blue triangle, then a pyramid, then a cube, then a box that stretches out and out and out until I cannot it stretching any further in my mind.

I also try to imagine myself at the beach in mexico, standing waist deep in warm water, feeling the cool breeze on my upper body and the warm water and sand between my toes. I try to visualize the sky, the fishing boats, etc etc.

As far as smoking goes, still working on it..
