Smokers

Ok I know there was a pre op smokers post but now I wanted to see who continued to smoke after. I have been smoke free for 8 days!!!! Is there anyone else that used this time to quit?

I did quit for 2 1/2 weeks and now I am back at it again. But the good thing is I don't smoke as much as I was before surgery..good luck to you

Thats what I'm afraid of bc I really want to smoke. It easy bc no one in my house smokes and I'm not near my friends or co workers. But once I get back into the public I fear that my quitting will fly out the window.

I was not able to quit either. I do not smoke as much as I use to. I guess it was just not my time to quit!

I dont feel its my time either but im still trying I dont want to smoke for my health and kids but I really want to smoke for my habit.... Hopefully I will succeed

I didn't smoke for a couple of days after surgery but went back to it. I don't smoke as much as I did before. I was scared it would do damage but so far everything has been ok.

I quit for 10 1/2 weeks. Did not even want to smoke, then all of a sudden I really wanted to smoke again. Unfortunately I did start again, not as much at first but now I'm back to pack a day. Good news is my husband and I have picked a new quit date together, July 10th. Wish us luck!

As I have written many times before in this help section, I too was a smoker before by hysterectomy, and I did successful quit, and have stayed quit ever since. You can do it!!! I was a one to two pack a day smoker, for 30 years! WHen I went back into public it was actually easy to NOT smoke. I think my nervous energy and pride kept me from bumming one. If you smoke even ONE chances are you will continue. Simply, just don't do it! Keep just not smoking. It became easier and easier as time went on. I still crave on occasion, but I just don't do it! Good luck to you!

Thanks folky I hope I can be as strong when I'm released to the public lol because right now I'm ready to attack someone for a cigarette.
