Lobectomy
Smoked for 30+years until I got stage 1 cancer. Caught it early. Had surgery. Was not fun. Stopped smoking say 34. I want one so bad but know the hard work I put in will go to waste
Look forward. No taking a back step. Don't ruin the hard work. Look at the positives. Tell the craving (I called mine, Margaret Thatcher), to go ... (Appropriate expletive helps when it is someone else telling you to take a backwards step. She also tries to tempt you when you have reached a milestone. Ignore) You can do it.
omg - I love that your craving has a name - I'm going to do the same - I think it will help. Cravings feel like such a personal attack!!!
I am glad that you have a new lease on life Jimbo07. You have been granted a wish and the chance to choose change. Perhaps this scare has a silver lining.
Find the desire to change because you want to, not because you feel you have to.
Life is so much better as a non-smoker. Believe that and believe in YOU. You Can do this!
