Welcome! Congrats on deciding to quit. I have appreciated all the support SCC has given to me in the past 18 days. Read the old posts ~ there is some really valuable information stored away there. I'm using NRT too and it seems to have been helping me overcome the habit of smoking. In due time, I will be ready to say goodbye to the NRT. One day at a time.
Peteg, my husband and I actually disagree over the value of these dreams. I feel so guilty when I have a smoking dream and so relieved when I wake up. My husband, on the other hand, enjoys smoking dreams because it is a place that he can smoke without all the bad side effects (e.g. wake up smoke ffree, sheets won't smell or have burns in them.....). I guess it is all a matter of perspective.
Impalamania: I like how you put it: we are all buddies here at SSC. I have used this site frequently over the past 18 days whether I am having a craving, needing advice or a laugh, bored, etc.
Peteg: I would love to be quit buddies. I could really use all the support I can get! And, since we quit close in time (like Ron suggested) it would work well
The first week I actually felt like my skin got worse. I started breaking out and was not a happy camper. I like to think that my skin was detoxifying itself....
But, now my skin looks and feels great. This is probably a combination of quitting smoking and drinking alot more water.
The first few days for me were almost unbearable. But it does pass. I am on day 20 and my cravings are much farther apart and are over very quick. During these times, I try to remind myself of why I wanted to quit in the first place, the benefits I am already noticing, and all the aspects I despised about smoking.
You can do this. You are doing great!! By the time your birthday comes, these symptoms will all be a distant memory.
