Dreams of Smoking

I’ve had a few recently. Always the same thought inside the dream “when did I start smoking again”

NOPE

@Sazerac... don't do it ... ....saz...it's been a long time.... I don't know how I'm gonna act... AwwYEeeAaaa!

Hi. I'm introducing myself here again after a long(2 year ) break during which I went back to smoking a pack a day. My quit will start this Friday. My name is Sarah and I'm 58 years old. I have been smoking for 43 years! I have to stop! I am extremely anxious about making this change. It's VERY important to me that I succeed in staying quit this time. I have done a good amount of preparation in the last month, yet my mindset is still one of FEAR and I know that is the wrong approach. Can anyone help me with creating a positive attitude toward this quit venture? I'm going to read a lot of posts here for sure. Thanks in advance!

Do you want to take a poll in regards to waxing your possible?.......lol

Terrible twos incurable

So have you moved forward with quitting Sarah? Hope so!

Good morning Sarah! I'm one of the newbies mentioned Fear was the main motivator for me too. After starting my quit three weeks ago it was stubborn obstinence to not give in again. I've smoked/vaped for about 40 years so I can understand everything you talked about. I can tell you that once you've quit you'll notice so many things that have nothing to do with fear, like not feeling like an outcast when around non smokers, hair smelling better, clothes smelling better, family and friends' encouragement, drawing deep breaths (my favorite) Not having to stand outside in the rain or the heat, better sleep, taste and sense of smell. Of course the toppers are about health but these are some of the less obvious things I've discovered. You can do this. You'll be so glad you did! Stay close to the board and check in often. Read some of the pinned posts. Joel's videos are amazing. These are great people and they'll help you more than you can imagine.

Hello Sarah, You'll be happy to realize that it's the best decision you've made to get on the Quit train to freedom, just stay close to the forum and you'll be fine. There are several others like myself just got on the Quit train this month, let's stick together and ride this train to our new freedom. John

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.

Your fear will melt away once you get started on your quit. It's quite normal to feel scared before hand Once you actually quit, all your focus will be on learning all you can about nicotine addiction and how to free yourself. Luckily, you have an army of other quitters who will give you all the support you want and need. This support is an important tool in helping you quit. Stay focused, stay engaged with the forum. read all you can and learn from others. It will really help you succeed

Hi Sarah, welcome (back?) You said you went back to smoking, how long were you quit before you threw it away? What is it you're fearful of? Succeeding? Having a healthier lifestyle? Or maybe it's the increased self esteem or the money you save? All of these can be very scary...…………...NOT! There is absolutely nothing to fear with quitting Sarah. We all did it so that should be proof enough that if all of us can do it anyone can! Stick close to us, stay active and lets get this done!

Welcome back .... Spend the time reading all you can here ..gaining knowledge ....we have a great bunch of newbies ,so you will be in great company ... Having said that ...why wait till Friday ???? All your doing is putting more poison in your body ..just to get rid of it again .... No time like the present .!!!

Just got home after spending a afternoon with my lovely brother and his wife ... Distance in the garden .....wine and Barby ..... Heaven ....

My mother told me when I quit that she still occasionally has thoughts of smoking and she quit 60 + years ago. She said she'll just be sitting there and for no reason at all, she thinks about having a smoke. Then she laughs it off and goes about her day. Once an addict, it's always there in your mind somewhere I guess.

Yes, this is what I’m thinking too, just shows how powerful the addiction and constantly feeding it used to be. I am not worried in the slightest about my quit just to be clear, just curious about as to why this happens even after 8 years in.

Maybe you like me as a blonde better?

OK, I dyed my eyebrows, what do you think?
