I had my first non-smoking dream!

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 18

I have only been quit for just about two weeks and I am having smoking and non smoking dreams. Is that normal? I also love dogs too. I don't have any, my husband is a cat person. We just got done dog sitting for a friend for the past month and it was hard to let them go. I even cried and had one of the biggest cravings yet, but I just grabbed a couple ounces of ice cream and just ignored it. We are going to get a puppy when he gets back from deployment. I can't wait. Back to the dream, I am glad you and your body are in sync. I am still waiting. I still really miss smoking and I look longingly at smokers but I also smell them too. lol [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]10/30/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 11 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 220 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $33.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 38 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42

Hi freebird! Congratulations!!! By the way- I'm off to the dentist tomorrow o have all the gunk cleaned off. I had the front of my teath done the day I quit (I actually threw away my pack of cigarettes in the dentist's garbage bin). Tmorrow is the "intensive cleaning day". Hip hip hurray!!!! (Although the black tea and coffee I drink will re-stain them...) And yes- smile at strangers! people are so utterly grumpy in the streets! :-) Cat [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]10/17/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 22 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 374 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �86.02 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 12 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

Freebird, Your subconscious mind is catching up to your conscious mind. Your body has really accepted that you are a non-smoker and you're picturing yourself as a non-smoker. What a huge step! Brenna, Bilingual Support Specialist

You know, I never really was a dog person until I met Ruby. Saying that, I didn't dislike dogs but, if pushed, I would have said I preferred cats. The first time I met Ruby she jumped up so high, she was able to lick me on my mouth ... bluurrgh (it's a staffie thing). She is so joyful and loves nothing more than a stick or a ball - if only people were so un-self conscious and accepting. It looks like your dog enjoys her toys too! You might laugh at me but The Dog Whisperer is one of my favourite tv programmes. I think Cesar Milan rocks! And I have used his technique of "calm assertive energy" in my quit. It sounds a bit weird but when I get to that nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh stage when you feel like you're going mad, I just take some deep breaths and think calm assertive energy. Hmmm, I do sound mad. Anyway, it works for me. Enjoy your day - I am off to the dentist (blurgh again). Then I am going to treat myself to some me time. It is a beautiful sunny day here in NZ, I live near the beach and I am going to sit on the white sands and watch the waves for a while.

Thanks Freebird. The one in front is mine and she is a Golden Retriever. The other dog is a friend who was over for a playdate. She's a lab. Aren't dogs the sweetest animals? I love mine to death. And she too loves it that I don't smoke. ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]10/29/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 9 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 108 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $36.72 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16

I love your dogs One More Try. Are they golden retrievers? They look beautiful and happy. We have an English Staffordshire terrier called Ruby - she is the most joyous dog I have ever known. She loves that I don't smoke!

Sounds to me like that was a sign you have reached absolute acceptance of your new life without smoking. Good for you! Dreams are amazing tricks of the mind.
