Fair warning

This is a warning. If you heed the warning, it shouldn't become an emergency. If it does, you will hear screaming.

Okay, I need surgery. It's elective, it's gross, and you really don't want to know, so let's move on.

The doc told me no surgery until I quit smoking and stay clean for 3 months. I am willing to do this, but I thought my friends should be warned that I'm liable to be a complete bitch for the next month or so. Short-tempered, snappish, you name it, watch out for me. I should be carrying a bell and a sign saying "Bitch" instead of "Leper."

We now return you to your regular posting schedule.
Best wishes and good luck to you Jammies.
I will send you good thoughts and positive energy.
I do hope the surgury part is not extremely serious, beyond the seriousness of normal surgury.
I am sure you will feel better and save lots of money :)
I am not preaching, I smoke and know what it costs. :(
Good Luck Sweetie

You go girl! save all your cigarette money in a piggy bank then after a week just look at how much you've saved -that will help with the bitchiness alot I think ;)

And chew gum -my mum swore by it when she was giving up (sugar free gum of course *L*)

I hope the surgery isn't to serious and that once you've given up you can have it soon and get it done and you all recovered and extra healthy!

We're with you, Jammies. Good luck and go with the piggy bank idea. After it's over, you'll have enough to buy yourself something you really like.

And there's nothing like gross elective surgery for great "Oh yeah I had that and I was...." stories later on. Shock the neighbors and scare small children!
 
Peace, hearts and flowers and fuzzy bunnies. You can do it, even if you struggle I know you'll make it. :heart: :rose: :heart:
 
Jammies. Nasty.

Jammies? Nasty?

Nah. Just cant make it work. She's wonderful. :)

:kiss: Best of luck. I hope that the smoking quitting goes well. It can be done, and everyone I know who has done it has been extremely happy with the results.

You'll need a healthy outlet.

You know, for release.

Sex works really, really well.

:D

And so does a punching bag, by the way. Sometimes even better.

Best of luck. :rose:

Ordering a full and speedy recovery from the Sharper Image catalog.

I concur with all the above sentiments, and helpful suggestions.

We all have faith in you, and have no fear about the bitchiness, ranting or otherwise. That's what we're here for, to soften the blow of withdrawl. Feel free to bitch or rant all you like. I doubt it will happen.

Our transatlantic flight to and from UK, is a nice calming 10+ hours each time, not taking into account the waiting around before hand, and afterwards in immigration *groan* and customs. The Gosling will smoke 3 ciggies in a 15 minute drive. Imagine how hard that is. She uses a patch for the journey, combined with overkill on sucking in as much nicotine as she can, up to the last possible moment before she can't smoke any more, and the earliest possible moment that she can smoke after we arrive. Usually around 13 hours. She hasn't bitten my head or hand off yet.

I have faith in you, LilRed, if only because you KNOW you have to do it for your immediate health. Go for it. Start planning all those wonderful plants you're going to be able to buy with the money saved.

Damn, this is eery. My landlady recently had surgery, but not so elective. It was a hysterectomy. She's kind of weak now. The reason that I mention is this is because it was due to a cancer scare with her uterus, which caused her to quit smoking.
 
*HUGS* Jammies. I could stand to lose a little weight, so I don't mind if you bite small pieces of me off. ;)
 
Best wishes, Jammies. Like the rest I will be pulling for you.

No smoking, OK, but you also said something about being "clean" for three months. Does that mean like, no alcohol or sex, drugs and rock 'n roll for three months? Maybe you could bargain down to just cutting out the rock 'n roll?

Good luck, LRJ, and a little unsolicited advice from someone who quit cold turkey after a long time of smoking up to two packs a day. I never really quit. I kept a pack of cigarettes in my freezer. And I never denied myself. If I absolutely had to have one, I did, but first I told myself that I can wait for ten minutes and then forced myself to get busy doing something. After a few days of that, you'll be amazed by how much easier it is to say, I can wait a few minutes. But if the urge is too strong, light a cigarette, take a couple hits off of it and put it out, don't smoke more than a quarter of it.

Now I can't stand the smell of them. I haven't had one in eight years. And I still have a pack of cigarettes in my freezer, just in case.

You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Bear in mind that it was rob and not I who said this. Small or not, I like my pieces. ;)

Good luck. Quitting's hard (says Q_C, who has yet to make a serious attempt to do so :eek: )

Good luck to you Jammies. It'll be for the best in the long run and this's a really good opportunity to keep healthy and save a ton of money.

I've never quit (as I never started), but have you considered hypnotherapy? The lady who sorted out my arachnophobia claims a 99% success rate with smokers, no matter how addicted, and she said they just don't want a cigarette and don't care about them afterwards. If something can sort out my brain to be okay with spiders, then it must be pretty good.

A little dear, but maybe worth a look?

I have faith that you can do anything you set your mind to doing. :rose:

(and I'm jealous, because I need to quit, too)
 
You are a strong woman. You can do it. :heart:

If you need to bitch, moan, or rant, just pm me on yahoo. You can talk to me anytime you need or want. :)

Good luck!!
 
From me also, the best of luck :rose:

I hope it all works out for the best for you!
 
You can do it babe...we're behind you all the way...







of course, I'm back here because I like the view as much as anything, but still...
