Welcome aboard, Sarah. You are doing a great thing in quitting smoking. You are also right in wanting to have a positive attitude towards quitting. I made several short quit attempts that failed. This was because I viewed quitting as giving up something I loved to do. It wasn't until I realized and fully embraced the truth that smoking did nothing positive for me that I was able to quit for good. I was just feeding an addiction all while throwing away money on an addiction that was slowly killing me and also making me feel bad in living in a society that has grown increasingly anti-smoking. A quit smoking forum like this really helped me. There is a lot of advice and support you can gain here to help you quit for good. Also, if you haven't done so, seek out Allen Carr's book "The Easyway to Quit Smoking." Some people have mixed reactions to the book but it really helped me to see that smoking was doing nothing positive for me at all and that really helped me out. It is great to have you here and I hope you stick around. Quitting smoking is definitely doable and a smokefree life is worth whatever early struggles you may have.

I had smoking dreams all the time early on in my quit. I usually woke up depressed feeling like I had relapsed and it took a moment to figure out that it was just a dream. One dream was so clear, and weird, that I posted what I remembered on QSMB, the quit site I was on before here. I still occasionally have smoking dreams. The last one I remember, I actually fought through the cravings I was dreaming about and didn't smoke. Most of the ones I remembered ended with me smoking. In the awake world, I feel no temptation to smoke. I have occasional thoughts about lighting up but they are so weak that I can push them out of my mind real easily. They definitely are not craves like I had early on. I guess occasionally re-living smoking in a dream is a sign of how much a part of our lives feeding that addiction used to be. As long as you stay smoke free in the awake, real world, you are good.

Congratulations on 8 years smoke free, @greenlight That is awesome!

Congratulations on 2 weeks smoke free, Nana!
