Thoughts to share with you
During the first two weeks of my quit, I experienced both pleasant and unpleasant dreams. Many were distinctly vivid about puffing on those nasty things and one about celebrating the quit.
One not so pleasant: I was out with a friend or two walking at night having a conversation.
From out of the blue a lit cigarette finds its way right between my smoking figures. Can you imagine that! Well I immediately flick the cigarette from my fingers. No sooner than I did that it raced right back, again planting itself between my smoking figures. I woke up in a sweat and was happy to find out that it was just a nightmare.
A better experience that I had: I went into a lounge in a Mexican restaurant, there I saw a mother and daughter whom I knew standing up at a crowed and cheerful bar. I joined them at the bar and the mother asked me, �Would you like to go outside and have one?� I said, �No, I quit smoking a week ago�. The mother whisper to the bartender that I had quit smoking. The word got passed to the pardons in the bar and also to the customers dining in the restaurant. Within a minute, the 100 patrons at the bar, along with the dozens and dozens of dinning customers, stood up and hailed me.
My smoking dreams quit visiting me months ago. In a matter of a short time, they pass.
Remember: don�t dwell on the urge, denied yourself, use self talk. You will wake up each morning a little more proud of your accomplishments than the previously morning. The quit continues to build on itself, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month�.
Day 180 and counting.
