Since you quit early, maybe your honey will follow your lead and join you sooner! Good luck to you both! :)

Doug: Hubby and I both quit May 23. Both using patches, and I was using welbutrin also. He was a pack a day smoker and I was up to 3 packs after 34 years of smoking. He has about 100 days now, been off patches for about a month and has been very successful. I goofed by having a slip or two...the last one did me in... Back to square one now for me. I had problems it seemed dropping from the 14 to 7 mg. (That's just an excuse, there were other things going on as well, but that's how I rationalize my slip) In the US they sell the patches in 21, 14 and 7 only. SOOOO..I ordered 10 and 5 mg off the internet so the taper down isn't as noticable. Spoke to my Dr., who isn't concerned about my use of the patch...as long as I quit. COPD was my reward for sticking strong to the smoking cause all those years. As far as how hubby and i are doing, we have been getting along quite well throughout this. The children, however, are buried deep in the backyard!!! :eg:

Oh, BTW, I also subscribe to Phil's just-before-bed toddy to help to get to sleep. That combined with the welbutrin and the patch gives me some weird dreams that make for great conversation starters the next day! HA

I had a smoking dream last night. I think I had smoked more than half a pack. My smokes were sitting on the table in front of me. I guess I was out in public. And this really skinny and sick looking lady came up and grabbed my pack of smokes. She looked like a homeless drug addict. She looked all dirty and stuff. And she was clutching the pack of smokes she had taken from me and she was acting how Gullum does in the Lord of the Ring when he is going all crazy over 'the ring'. I was just staring at her and how crazy she looked and how nuts she was acting and I told her to keep the smokes that I didn't want them anyway. I guess that was the crazy addict side of me ... SICK I tell you. Just plain sick. I'm glad it was only a dream.

Kandlwoman, Keep in mind your body is healing, that takes a lot of energy! If you continue to have trouble falling asleep, consult your pharmacist. He/she will be able to offer you pharmalogical or all natural alternatives to help you get a few Z'. You can also try exercising no less than five hours before bedtime. Good luck, Danielle _______________________ The SSC Support Team

Congratulations on 7 BIG days! Yes, it's very common to dream after you quit smoking. I use to say that my night-life is much more interesting than my my day-life :p There is another thread about this on this forum: \http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/support/viewmessages.aspx?forum=10&topic=32269 [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/22/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 190 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,863 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $855 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 22 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 35

douglas, I am a day dreamer and night dreamer! When I first quit, dreaming sleepless nights were always available :) I used the relaxation technique of hot bath and good books to really ease me into sleep. My dreams lessened and I was able to sleep better! Give yourself some relaxation before bed, it is a great reward and you can ease into sleep :) Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.

Douglas, Great topic! Are your dreams vivid? Does this bother you? Is this a positive effect of quitting? This is a symptom that many members have not experienced. Let's try and further develop it :) Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
