@jillar the winningist wabbit in the world. I love animals but, don't want a pet especially in the city and I don't want to deal with anyone's poo except my own. Plus, I love my garden lizards more and cats kill them without compunction.

#1 I swear like a sailor #2 I call my bed, 'Huck's Raft' #3 I think I should get a cat or a dog

Oh, dear M, Thank you for sharing your quit with us. We have all learned from your experience and applaud your perseverance and intensive mindfulness, so beautifully chronicled in your thread, Introsucktion. It remains a testament to the power of quitting smoking and will serve many along the way. Your journey will continue in Freedom and I look forward to you conquering any and all new challenges. You are so special in my heart, M, and I am proud to call you friend. Please continue to reward yourself and stay alert, awake and aware. Have a GREAT celebration !

The more information we acquire about nicotine addiction, the better prepared we are to identify triggers or chinks in our armor. We need to be ferocious and completely truthful with ourselves to conquer this addiction. If you know you still harbor some romance, you have the skills to route out those thoughts well before they lead you astray. Keep your focus. This whole quitting smoking business is a continuing journey, for true.

I'll take #3, honest and kind Rabbit.

Dreams are really common in the early days of a quit as the lung's cilia sheds the poisons. This can alert your sense of smell and taste and migrate into your dream. Do you have some subconscious or conscious ambivalence about your quit ? Do you still romanticize about smoking ? Do any of these Red Flags ring a bell ? Nicotine Addiction doesn't go away, we can put it to sleep for a long time but, it is instantly re-activated after one puff. That is why we commit to NOPE (Not One Puff EVER) Vigilance is essential, no matter how long we have quit. Congratulations on your Six Years of Freedom, @Jazzmine ! and welcome to the QTrain. Protect your quit. S
