I Quit Smoking

Hey Everyone I Just Wanted To Say That If Any Of You Had To Quit Smoking Before Your Surgery I Hope Everything Was As Smooth For You As It Is For Me. I Didn't Think That Quitting Would Be This Easy But I Know That I Had To Do It So Maybe That Is What Helped. Hopefully I Will Be Able To Give Up Other Stuff If I Need Too As Easy As I Did With Quitting Smoking. Everyone Take Care And I Can't Wait To Be On The losing Sign. I'm Glad I'm Not anymore. Nikki

I am struggling like crazy to quit smoking! I have to be smoke-free 30 days before my surgery, which is still about 2 months off, but I figure the sooner I quit the better. Any tips? This is sooooo hard!

Nicole....The Only Thing That I Can Tell You Is Think Of The Best Person Or The Best Thing That Would Be Worth Quitting Rather Than Yourself Or The Surgery! Although Those Are 2 Good Reasons Yourself And The Surgery Something Else Has To Be There. For Me....I Chose To Quit Because I Am A Lead Singer In A Band And My Scream Was Getting Worse And Worse Because I Was Constantly Smoking. I Have Noticed Now That My Screams Are A Lot Clearer! I Don't Know It's Hard For Me To Stay Out Of The Club With Smoking But I Tend To Drink More....Thats Not Good Either But Better Than Smoking. Anyways Nicole If You Want To Talk You Seem Like A Cool Chick E Mail [email protected] Or [email protected] Both Are my Screenames Too. I Look Forward To Talking With Ya! Nickster

What a coincidence! I also used to sing in a rock band and my voice is a huge motivation for me to quit. I've been working with some musicians lately and finding that my pipes don't work the same as they used to. The hardest thing for me is either going out for coffee or going to bars - I'm not sure how to do either without lighting up! I'll just keep trying & you can be my inspriation, OK? Thanks again for the reply & congrats on quitting.

do you have to quit smoking AFTER surgery? How does smoking go with the post-op part thanks
