Default oh dear god..............

as some of you may know i`m looking at getting a back fusion op done in the next 4 months.
docs told me i need to give up smoking for the op.
i had hoped they were just being pain in the ass health freaks, but after some googling ive realised that smoking can have a major impact on the bone fusing post op.
i dont like hearing stats cos they can be confusing and be made to exagerate results.
it does seem tho that it can make a real difference in this case.....
the prospect of the op alone is enuff to hook me up to a nicotine drip and the prospect of quitting prior to the op scares the crap outta me tbh.
it seems i need to stop 1 month prior to the op and for at least 6 months after...
ive used an asthma inhaler in the past so i cant be prescirbed any beta blockers which are the one thing on offer to help with stress(i`m a big stress smoker)
i can hear all you non smokers saying how it`ll be good for me and the health benefits, but quite frankly i couldnt give a crap about all that lol.
i dare say it says something about my entire lifestyle when i say that life without a smoke sounds insanely boring-but it does!
i`m kinda glad ive stayed away from doing gear for the last year cos if not i`d be heavily tempted do a cycle pre-op-for a hit of well being to take the edge of things and knowing me its something i could get very into.....
ever noticed how so many peeps with addictive personalites get into gear in a big way?
still going to be a major temptor for me in the future non the less.
it was one thing for me to quit hash earlier this year, but quitting baccy as well.....
a very scary prospect

Do you get along well with those Nicotine patches...?

TinyTom's been doing some work on NLP - NLP can help to quit smoking I'm sure

Them patches are rubbish and so are everything else. Its all about WANTING TO GIVE UP AND WILLPOWER. I should know cause i gave up over 2 years ago.
I found it easy to give up because i really hated smoking.But if you do enjoy it then its a real big challenge to stop
Good luck cal

i have quit for 2 months before on patches-
i then got a date for an operation(bone graft in my wrist) and was smoking again the same day...
no word of a lie i was walking 12-15 miles a day to cope with not smoking.i was as ripped as at that point but cos i didnt know much about nutrition i was looking stringy as opposed to lean.didnt look good at all!

whats this NLP thang then?
