HOW MANY HAD A PROBLEM TO QUIT SMOKING

I'M DOING VERY WELL WITH NOT SMOKING. EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES I REALLY WANT TO. WHY IS IT THAT SOME DR. SAY YOU HAVE TO,AND I HEARD OTHER PEOPLE SAY THEY DON'T?? HOW DO THEY REALLY KNOW, JUST WONDERING.

Hi Tracy, My doctor also recommended for me to stop smoking and this tomorrow makes 15 days smoke free.. I'm schedule for my sergery next week Thursday. I've done good so far, but I've been eating more..Tomorrow Wed, I start the fasting.. I don't know what I'm going to do!! but I'm going to try my best not to smoke. Want to know what helps me... I kind of torture myself. I say to myself.. If I smoke, I'll wont wake up from sugery.. That's some crazy thoughts, but it's helping me with not smoking.. Good luck Lourdes
