Dream
Yesterday night, I had the most vivid dream that I am smoking. And even in my dream I knew I would have to reset my quit clock.
Got up startled in the middle of the night and the rest of the night I spent tossing and turning unsure if I had really smoked or it was just a dream.
I am 8 months quit and it was humbling to know how much the habit messes with you.
I am glad for you that it was just a dream Aniruddha. However, i would have to think that anyone who reacted as you did would get successfully back on the horse in the event of a slip. Days are just a way of measurement, but not a final decree. Its what is in your heart and mind that will determine the final outcome.
Congrats on a victorious 8 months and better future. Best to all on their quests for freedom.
I had a similar dream a week ago! ...someone tempted me with a cigarette or something like that. I was so happy when I looked at the clock and saw I've got at least 5 more hours to sleep :D
