I used to smoke also and it is hard but you can do it! Remember to take one day at a time and if that is too long take one hour at a time! I found it helpful to take a walk during the times I really wanted a cigarette. While driving I would use a straw to hold in my hand. It may seem silly but it really did help me! I have not had a cigarette in over a year! I wish you the best with this and your upcoming surgery!<br>Tami :o)<br>Pre-op - 365<br>surgery - Jan 18, 2000<br>today - 260 (yep - 105 lbs gone *grin*) Shawna –<br>Good luck with stopping smoking!
