Coben, I do realize that these dreams are a 'nightmare' no pun intended. Take Care, Melanie _____________________ The SSC Support Team

We don't judge, we encourage and hold each other up when they need it. Our arms are stretched out for you - grab on and don't look back at the past.

I just kept looking at it thinking, "what am I doing? I made a promise to find support at SSC before I'd ever light up again." What about all I've been through to get here? I feel so ashamed of myself. I've let myself down again. I thought this was it, this was my awakening, this was my second chance. How could I blow it? My mind had already conceded defeat, I'll just keep on smoking. I obviously have no control and I can't do this. Oh, how it hurts. I don't think I can look at myself in the mirror. I'm so ashamed, so sad, so angry. I let myself down, I let myself lose. How could I? Then I woke up from the dream I was having and the relief was overwhelming. I'm sorry if this upset you to read. I think it would have upset me if it was any of you, but that's not the reason for the suspense. I know we all come from different places, different backgrounds, different lives, but we all have the common goal of leaving the filthy habit of smoking long behind. I got a horrible taste this morning of what it might be like to be back at the beginning and it scared the hell out of me. If anyone is out there on the fence, fighting tooth and nail to hold on, please know that there is a better place in your future and you can do this. As they say, sometimes you just have to tie a knot in the end of your rope and hang on. It's true. Please hang on. You will find peace soon. Life or death, live or die. There is only do, there is no try. choice puts the free in freedom. no hurries, no worries. keep on keepin' on - fish [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/21/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 126 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,798 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $630 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 16 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 56 [B]Seconds:[/B] 17

Sorry for the alarm, friends. It really was a horrible feeling, thinking I was back in that crappy place I was before christmas. What a relief waking up was, sheesh. It's strange, I never smoked in my dreams when I was actually a smoker. What's that all about, Freud? Jung? Whatever the dream was, it got me on my toes - had to share. Again, my apologies for the shock value. keep on keepin' on - fish [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/21/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 126 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,803 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $630 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 16 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 14

Fish you are NOT funny! I read the title of your post, saw who posted it and thought OH NO! Not Fish! Struggled so hard through those first 30 days. I could really relate to what he was going through and now he's given up. Then I read on. I am very glad that this was a dream and not real. I hate those smoking dreams. They can really do a number on you. Glad you are still smoke free my friend. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 299 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,993 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1046.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 26 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 7

OK! ... I didn't need those last couple of years on my life, anyway! No need to go to the gym today, I just got my cardio. Deep breaths, slow down heart. Glad it was just a dream, fish. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 338 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,773 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1284.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 63 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16
