The weird "I just smoked" guilt dream
So just finishing Day 22 without cigarettes and it's all going nicely so far. However - last night I had one of those vivid dreams where I'm trying to drive but the car I'm in suddenly isn't mine and I'm smoking a pack etc.
Anyway - for a good sombre while in this dream I'm seriously lamenting the fact that I've had these cigarettes. I mean, the guilt is real. When I wake up this morning I realise I haven't smoked at all. I should be relieved. That should have been a nice revelation to wake up to.
Quit smoking dreams. They're pretty ruthless when they want to be.
Other than that - just peachy.
Peachy, peachy keen. That's me.
I have dreampt several times that I had a smoke. Always a relief when I wake and realize it was only a dream.
It must all have something to do with what method you are using to quit. I know on the patches I haven't had any of those dreams but I have read from some on champix that they have these dreams too.
Good for you to still be off the smokes.
I'm on champix and have had those same "bought a pack and smoked" them dreams. Huge relief to wake up and know it's not true :)
Makes you less likely to do it in real life doesn't it? The horror, then the relief!
Ha Ha the dreaded dreams, I had about 6 over the first 9 months, I was on patches for the first 7 weeks. I don't think it matters what assistance you use those dreaded nicotine receptors will try all the tricks.
Well good luck Bill44 I tired the patches I think they made me want to smoke more lol.. but Champix does it for me .. and I should know this is my third quit using it now to just stay quit.. tired of buying Champix.. which I get from the Canadian drug store much cheaper than it the USA.. well I've never had a problem quitting on Chammpix or Chantix but staying quit has been my problem and my family said well try something else instead of Champix.. well I've tried everything and Champix is the only thing that helps me quit .. I quit for a year once.. I was so proud of myself then succumbed to a Marlboro.. thought I could just smoke one.. right .. nicodeamon got to me .. and I was off and running hiding it from my family I was so ashamed.. so pray for me guys this is the finally time and today is day one of quit day for me and just took my full dose half hour ago and I really do not feel like smoking at all.. thank god..
