Thanks everyone for posting. I had a few computer problems but I have them fixed and back to reading again. So many posts on here its gonna take 6 months to try and read them all. I have been smoke free since Friday the 21st. I quit on my daughter's 11th birthday, It has been really hard, but I wouldn't dare go in for the operation without quitting a month before to help with blood flow. Thanks Carol for your story, It makes me want to be done with smoking all the more and never start back up!! Just please be thinking of me on April 23rd at 11:00 am, and say a little prayer for me!!!
