Hi willson, so sorry your journey is so hard, maybe after you see the surgeon today things will be clearer.

I worry when you say the only reason you quit is because of the surgery, if you don't really want to quit then it will be extremely difficult. this journey can be so hard when you are in the right head space, if you are not then I'm not sure.

I stopped smoking for a similar reason, possible surgery that would not have gone ahead if I was smoking, fortunately I did not need surgery.

I had gone three days without a smoke and thought OK I am not giving up or quitting cigarettes ( felt that put too much pressure on me ) but I am not going to smoke today. This is how I approach not smoking one day at a time.

Hang in there, hopefully the next hypnotherapy session will have a positive effect. keep posting I wish you well

Yes, one day at a time. You cannot just stop smoking briefly and then pick up after your surgery. In the past I stopped smoking for a day when I had some procedure and once invisible to surgeon was back into it... A few months later and a few health scares decided to go cold turkey. Day 387 and $8050 saved.. Need I say more.. Yes,one day at a time...
