Difficulty kicking the Habit......

Help!! I go for my preliminary testing in a few short days. I have been trying to quit smoking since Feb when I finally decided to go ahead with surgery. My doc said recovery will be much easier if I quit and there will be less chance for bloodclots. I have tried and tried to motivate myself.I'll go 3 or 4 days, maybe even a week and then start smoking again! I guess a little while with no cigarettes is better than smoking continually, but I would really like to be in good condition for surgery. My new excuse is to wait until I have an actual date for surgery (according to docs office it could be late April) My hubby is a smoker too, so we are actually very BAD influences on eachother! I guess I need some encouragement... Also I wondered if I should ask for a prescription to help the craving go away or is it better to go cold turkey. Is there anyone that has smoked up until surgery date? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
