I found out on Friday that I have a neuroendocrine tumor on my pancreas. The doctor is recommending surgery in the next few weeks to have it removed. I'm not sure if this was caused by smoking, but something tells me that it was.
I've still been smoking but have re-set my quit date for this Thursday, 8/22. After many failed attempts, I have retured to this site to gain the guidance and support I know that I will need. (Last time I quit, I made it 72 days, right in the middle of No Man's Land!)
I've been doing all of my reading and prepping for the big day. I've made a committment to myself to quit drinking for 90 days as well. In my readings, I hear about this "click" that I am supposed to feel while reading these quit smoking resources. Why am I not feeling it? Even with this health scare, I still haven't "clicked." What's wrong with me? Allen Carr says that if you haven't felt it by the end of his book, read it again. Is it something you have to feel before you can truly quit?
I'm very confused, scared and bewildered. Any comments would be much appreciated.
Monica
