Hi there,
I have had three knee replacements and quit for each one, only to start up after each one at some point. I've quit so damned many times that I've lost count.
Do yourself a solid and know that even a day or two without smoking makes your anesthesia and healing so much better. Tell yourself you're doing it for the surgery. After the surgery, you won't feel like smoking and probably will be an inpatient for a day at least. That day, you can't smoke. Use that smokeless day to your advantage, though truth be told, you're gonna be busy doing things besides thinking about smoking.
You can do this. Trust me, if you can have a knee replacement, you can do anything. I got my life back with knee replacements and got my life back again 49 days ago, when I quit smoking.
Join me?
