Dreams
Hi again
4 mths in now, and keep having the dreams over and over that I am enjoying a cigerette. When I wake up I am so disappointed in myself for starting to smoke again and Then I realize it was just a dream, but it was so real.
I am so muddled up, cant get off the patches (making them last 2 days and then 1 day with nothing and then I really want to smoke so I put a patch on. Mints are still being thrown down my mouth, hence teeth are going bad and cant stop thinking about smoking.
I start to think well I have emphysemia anyway, so why I am really even bothering to stop anyway
I knew this would not be easy, but boy thought it would get easier than this
Anyone else feel like this?

No not really, but I just feel like I have now gained a patch and mint addiction instead
That is why I am so muddled, but really just wanted to know if anyone else felt like this when they gave up
It's not easy, I am on day 22 and stop using patches about 7 days ago. I have been tempted to have a smoke, I still have some, but I am not going give in to the temptation.You really need to focus on something other then smokes. Hobbies? go for a walk, drink water.YOU CAN DO IT.
I went through the same thing on my last attempt 3 years ago, and ended up smoking again. I really don't think I was ready. This time I haven't had as many cravings and the family say I'm handling things a lot better. I'm a true believer in you have to want to stop smoking.
Yep I have the exact dreams,I am on day 40 n finding the cravings are bad.Im on champix n though Im enjoying the healthy part of it,I have replaced smokes with chocolate or lollies,pistasios or fatty unhealthy food.I have gained so much weight,so I know how ya feel.I feel like giving in all the time,cause Im just so unhappy,but I have two kids I am doing this for,n I dont want to let them down.I hope u kick the habbit,its freakn hard I tell ya,the hardest thing Ive done.Good luck
Hi everyone
Thanks for your comments, has made me think about how to fix it rather than sitting here feeling sorry for myself.
joys quitting.
You hit the nail on the head you sound just like I feel too. Good luck to you too. Hope we both make it (which we will :)) and everyone else
