I didnt know how far out before surgery you have to quit. So I just did it now anyway. Never to early to feel better! Bonnie R

Thanks cira.I appreciate the support. Also Tammy I used Chantix for almost a week. But what a terrible taste it leaves in your mouth. I stopped that yesterday. It does work. I havent had much cravings for it. Bonnie R

Congrats! I was one year in March that I quit smoking. It truely was the hardest thing I've done.. It gets easier as time goes by though. I smoked for 30 years and sucessfully quit the first time. I'm so proud of you!!!

Good for you. That is still my one demon hanging over my head. I restarted the medication again to quit. I have to do this. I managed to quit for the surgery... but allowed myself to weaken afterwards.
