Dreaded dreams of a relapse
I have been quit for 9 days now. Days 5-7 were the moodiest, I snapped at people and just felt frustrated over nothing, really. Each night I keep having dreams where I relapse. During the dream I feel so guilty and heartbroken. When I wake up, it is such a relief. I read this is normal for people who stop smoking, how long will this last though? Tired of hating myself in my dreams for relapsing.
I do see old smoke mates and feel happy I don't smoke anymore but at the same time, I fear I might relapse. The fear of relapsing is eating at me. I have never meditated before, but willing to try. Does meditating help?
I had a dream like that last night, i smoked half of a cigarette and felt the same feelings of dread and guilt and it took me until halfway through my orning shower to realise i hadn't actually smoked! Im glad you posted this because i wasnt sure if it was something that is widespread :)
