Pack of cigarettes in the mail

[Kate18]

Dreamt that I'd left my cigarettes behind, I wanted them, and they were in my jacket pocket, coming to me in the mail. I accidentally opened up someone else's mailbox and two furry puppies jumped out.  I couldn't leave them out and tried mightily to push them safely back into the mailbox. They were lovable, wiggly, and I could not get the lid to it closed. Very frustrating. I knew that if I could just reach my own mailbox, I'd be able to retrieve my jacket and cigarettes, and relax with a smoke.

 

I awoke when my own small dog bounded over out of her den to my side and started licking my ear. 

 

At least I wasn't craving a smoke when I awoke. I think I've been days without a craving. Maybe once or twice, but not strong ones. Transient and not even enough to create a memory of them.

It's true, it does get better.

Thanks for sharing Kate.

I think it's quite fortunate for me that I've never had a smoking dream in all the many times that I've quit, I can see how nerve-racking it could be to have such a bad dream. 

4 weeks today for me and it does get better.  Still getting the cravings occasionally, but less frequent and much easier to brush off.  

Happy Monday morning everybody.

Yes, it is true Kate and I'm so glad you finally get to see what we've all been telling you. Well done! And @JohnQ congratulations on four weeks quit, that's awesome!

Great job JohnQ, congratulations of 4 weeks quit.

Now that I'm off the patches, I'm missing my vivid dreams.  Sounds like you had a good one...a smoking dream without actually getting to the point of smoking!

 

Glad that you're seeing how much better it gets when you don't smoke.  I imagine that it will keep getting better and better.  Enjoy!!
