Day 15

Still not smoking, using zyban.  Still tempted, having cataract surgery on Tuesday, my mind is saying start again after surgery but I still haven't given in.  When people at work go out for a smoke I can smell it on them when they come back in.  Wish me luck and everyone hang in there!

Your addiction is still trying to get you to come back! What a ridiculous thought, "quit AFTER surgery"! You are doing this and smoking isn't an option anymore!

Congratulations on two weeks!!

 I wouldn't dwell on the cigarettes after surgery. It sounds like the mind is trying to set up a moment to give in and listening to that part of our brains can be dangerous if we let it get the upper hand.

 So at least you have an idea of when a possibly huge crave might hit. Be ready for it! If your not blindsided then it's easier to defeat those craves.

Your doing a great job on that quit and I wish you the best in both the quit and the surgery.

ONWARD TO FREEDOM!!

Congratulations – you are starting week 3.  Cigarettes won’t help your surgery or the healing process, so focus on something else.  You’ve come way too far to start over.  Good Luck with your surgery – Won’t it be nice to see again!
