Am I doomed to failure?

Everything I have researched says that implants fail in smokers.  There's something called peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition which results in bone loss and eventual loss of the implant, also associated with chronic infection (Wikipedia).  The inflammation is around the implant as the implant itself cannot become infected, and prevents my old friend, osseointegration.   All warnings were that a smoker needs to cessate anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks prior to the surgery and for at least 4 weeks after surgery.  Even anti-smoking aids are not recommended, such as gum or "the patch".  I smoked until the night before, and had 4 cigarettes within 24 hours of my surgery.  And I've been smoking half a pack a day since then.  When I'm not smoking I'm chewing nicorette gum.  I'm definitely doomed.

On the upside, if there IS an upside, I took antibiotics for the first 8 days.  This would have prevented any infection.  I've also been taking double the amount of calcium and 2000 IUs of vitamin D, over and above my regular daily vitamin.  Hopefully, this may counteract some of the ill effects and help the bones strengthen.  In my research I didn't find anything about smokers taking calcium to help with the implants.   I did, however, see that Vitamin C helped since that is one of the vitamins that smoking saps from your body.  Maybe, if I'm very very very lucky, I'll make implant history.  Maybe it will even be a successfull story.

In the meantime,
