Guest guest Posted May 6, 1999 Report Share Posted May 6, 1999 Thanks Wendi! I know I can't ever have not even a puff! I was so addicted to them that I know it would be right back where i was again if i even tried to smoke just once. My dh on the other hand, (he quit with me ) occasionally has a few cigarettes with friends (when ever he has beer) and is fine with not having them anytime other than that. I have no ides how he does it , but i am not even going to try. I dream about smoking VERY often. Its weird. I did throughout my pregnancy and I do still. I think that is my addictions way of pleasing itself! Jenn At 10:30 PM 5/5/99 -0700, you wrote: >Jenn, > >Yeah! Don't ever go back. I have quit for 8 years now. I also quit cold turkey. You should never even smoke one hit again because it can start you back. Smoking is really deadly. I don't think people realize how bad it is but 500,000 people die per year in the U.S. alone as a result of lung cancer from smoking. That doesn't count all the emphysema deaths and other causes relating to smoking. You made the best possible choice for Paige. What a good mommy you are!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 1999 Report Share Posted May 6, 1999 Jenn, I dont think dreams about cigarettes are too uncommon; most people I have met who quit had them. I had a hilarious one after I joined the military and left for Basic Training. We werent told in advance that smoking was no longer allowed, so when we got there, we had to hand over our cigarettes. (Wrong place and time to go thru withdrawals!!) One night I dreamed that I had an enormous cigarette... it was just too funny. It was as tall as me and as big around as my arms could stretch! Unfortunately, when I left Basic Training, I went straight to a store to buy another pack -- after 6 weeks of quitting! Really addictive and nasty!
