Hello, I’m new here! I have my psych evaluation consult on 10/30 and then the evaluation soon after that... I’m just curious if there is anybody else having a hard time quitting smoking?

Thank you

@Amers29yup me. Girl it's hard we just have to realize why we need to quit and let it sink in our brains. The surgery is absolutely more important. My surgery is on the 7th of November. I am still struggling.

I am 5 days clean.

It is real hard and I’m getting there! Congratulations to you, you got this...I have to be smoke free for 8 weeks. I’m tapering now and mentally preparing[emoji38]

I smoked till the day before. Not a lot but like two or three a day from a pack a day. I will say everything went fine. But coming home starting a new life it was so hard and i had so bad bad anxiety for two weeks. But i have been clean almost two months its hard and i still think about it and my husband smokes. But know i have to stay clean for my health ive heard so many bad things. About smoking after sugery so ive stated a way from them.

My husband also smokes, I’m getting better at being around it. My dr told me they will test me for Nicotine! I just want my health back and so I have to do this, ugh! Congratulations for quitting

Stay strong, try chewing gum

My doctors tests for nicotine weeks before and the morning of surgery. If nicotine is found he will cancel.

I quit January 27, 2016 after almost dying with sepsis from a perforated bowel. I quit cold turkey. It wasn’t easy Bless you all trying to quit.

I quit for a month and took my nicotine test, then I started smoking again about 5 cigs or so a day now I've stopped again its been 3 days its not easy thats for sure I have to constantly battle my mind telling me to go get some but I know I can't take that chance I'm waiting on insurance approval all my pre ops are done just getting to close to cheat. Good luck, oh I eat hard candy like I"m smoking it helps a little.

This diet make you want to smoke. ?

I've cut down to 10/day from 20/day since September. I'm trying to lower that down to 5 but it's friggin hard! The liquid diet I'm having no problems with, but smoking... UGH! I'm hoping being in the hospital for 3 days not being able to will flush the nicotine out and I won't touch another one after that ??

My Dr tested me for nicotine. Does your team not test you?

Good luck, you got this[emoji1319]

I really feel for you. I gave up years ago and it was hard but in some ways easier too. I didn’t have to stress about running out etc.maybe try the vape things you can get no nicotine ones. Best of luck, you can do it x
