This has been a very hard weekend but my husband was away on business all week right through the weekend and I believed that was what it was all about and I still think that but last night I had a nightmare that I smoked! The dream went like this...I was sitting at a table which was cluttered talking to someone and took a cigarette out of a pack which were laying on the table near me and lit it up, my husband looked at me in shock and I looked at the cigarette in my hand and then my gaze went to my daughter who was crying because I was smoking, I tried to explain it away that I didn't even realize I had lit a cigarette or was smoking...end of dream.
Well, the dream made me realize that at any time I could falter and what I dreamed could actually happen if I don't keep my guard up, but damn I'm tired of constantly fighting this even though I don't want a cigarette, they stink horrible when I smell them and it's disgusting to walk by the coats on the way back from break at work to smell the cigarette smoke lingering on the coats from the smokers. I won't give in but some days it's so hard, I just hate fighting this all the time it never seems to get better; oh yea for a short time then it's back again. Anyway I needed to vent! Thanks for having a place for me to vent!

I have been off the patch now for a week and since I stopped using them I can't seem to stay asleep all night. I thought it was because I was going to sleep too early and have tried to stay awake longer but I can't seem to and if I wake up for any reason I can't get back to sleep, in fact I should be sleeping now since I have to be up at 5:00, but once again I'm awake because the dog woke me to go outside two hours ago, usually I lay in bed until I fall asleep but tonight I got on here instead because it doesn't make any difference whether I'm laying down or on the computer I'm not going back to sleep and it's really getting hard to make it through the day at work.
As far as cravings I have done exceptionally well compared to the other times I have tried to quit, so I don't think that is what is going on and I'm not entirely convinced it has anything to do with my quit or going off the patches, but it's really starting to become a problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me besides using drugs?

Thanks for all the help I really appreciate it. I have avoided taking naps but then I want to go to sleep at 8:30 at night and my normal time has always been between 9:30 and 10:00 since I have to get up at 5:00 to get ready for work, but it seems that I don't have a problem falling asleep initially, it's that I'm waking up at 3:00 in the morning and not being able to fall back to sleep. I have been working out in the gym 3 days a week and that isn't helping either, I just can't make myself stay up later at night. I will try the things that all of you suggested and hope it works, thanks so much for your support!

[color=Orange]Angel, that is so awesome!!! Congratulations! A year seems a long way off for me. You really have something to be very proud of going through all of that and staying with your commitment a lot of people would have used even one of your experiences to start smoking again!

I'm another January quitter, I'm committed to stay smoke free! I love having my grandchildren visit and not have to go hide away from them to have a cigarette because I want to respect their mother's wish to not have her children exposed to cigarette smoke.
