Thanks, Kelly! Hi LilMissDiva, the link is not working. Is there a group meeting in Sacramento? Thanks again.

Hi Lunarose. Nice to meet you. What's your journey been like so far?

Hi! I'm pre-op in Sacramento. Would like to join a support group here. Any info is appreciated!

Excellent quote and so true. I've lived through it, too. I had to end a "relationship" once I decided to start this process. I didn't need the distractions. Thanks for this thread! .

I stopped smoking on 9/1 and took the nicotine test my doctor ordered on the 27th. There was no nicotine in my system. I don't think it takes that long. It can be out in 48 or 72 hours. I suggest you Google it. It's hard to quit an addiction. You will have withdrawals, but you can get through it and feel better than you have in a while. Good luck!

Thanks for the great info. You look wonderful! Love that hat!

Quit cold turkey 30 days ago, but gained 14 lbs because I snacked so much. Now I'm over it. What got me to take this seriously was my doctor saying he was going to give me a lab test to make sure I was smoke free. I'm also going to take a class at my hospital. I was told it helps to know about addictive behaviors.
