take a break couple of days before trip to the castle so that you have a chance to recharge your energy levels.

I understand your motivation to stop smoking, my parents smoked for 50 years but on a visit from UK to NZ to see their new granddaughter they didn't realise that every photo taken had a swirl of smoke around like poisonous gases. My mum has even apologised to my daughter as she feels she may have triggered her asthma. Both have been smoke free for 5 years, now my mum just has to conquer her latest addiction, red wine and peanuts!

Best wishes for your surgery and your smoking challenge, you are showing a wonderful example for others. Best wishes also to Karlene67. Hugs, Linda

As anyone seen the Oprah show yesterday???? I am sooooo glad that I quit smoking years ago! Good luck and be strong!
Like having the surgery, quitting smoking will be the beginning of a new life for you!
I started smoking when I grew up overseas, where it is less supervised and stuff, but it is a nasty habit which I dropped 3 years ago, and I don't miss it!
Be strong and good luck!

Hi Amy,

Congratulations on your decision to quit smoking. Your step-son sounds great, too, to have offered to help you out with washing the walls.

I quit smoking several years ago, and some of the ladies I work with cleaned up everything in my office so that it smelled nice and fresh and clean. They were so sweet to do that and I have never forgotten it.

Please take Linda's advice, though, and don't wear yourself out before surgery - let your DH and your children know what still needs to be done.

I wish you the very best.

What a wonderful choice you are making...and one of the best you will ever make. A word of advice....dont be hard on yourself....you are going through alot.....and dont even take one hit of a cig. I quit for 10 years....and then went through some tought times, and thought well I will just smoke one....and that turned into a year of smoking, and I didnt even really enjoy it.
Good luck...you are in my prayers!!
chele.

now that you had your surgery,let us know how you are doing when you feel well enough to get back to the computer.
