I am a little perturbed today!! It's been awhile since I've had a smoking dream. Had one last night and it was a doozy. Not only the smoking part the rest of it as well. More a nightmare, I suppose where as I went to take the drag off the cigarette (don't even know if it touched my lips) I was Screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And that is how I woke up, trembling, scared, angry, not knowing which end was up. Once I realized it was a dream I calmed down somewhat, but my subconscious mind remained awake for the rest of the night thinking about it, and it carried on until just awhile ago, when I finally screamed at the JUNKIE to SHUTUP. Seems to have worked. Day 3 nicotine free today...could be part of the reason for this. This is crunch time...I've relapsed in the past at this cold turkey part. NOT THIS TIME. There is no going back for this bird. I can't do this again, and.....I WON'T HAVE TO! Off camping again tomorrow for the weekend, so I promise....NO SMOKING THIS WEEKEND.

[quote] I have felt on edge, very guarded - like I wanted to scream (I did), cry (I didn't), yell (tried not to). I've been sad, angry, anxious, depressed, happy, elated, then sad again. I went through hungry, angry, lonely, tired. I was all of them. What to do. What to do. Eat, drink, walk, sleep, distract, and again, and again. [/quote] You don't know how good it is to see you saying those words! I think you've got it now. Repeat the above at any time you need to. Print it out and post it up everywhere. Be proud Penquin! You are doing so well. Reward time!!!!!

There really is something to do with this 30 day thing. Even though I was totally prepared, knew it was coming, determined not to even go there - it's there. For 3 days I have been fighting - no not craves, really, just feeling unsettled. It has felt like I was standing outside of closet, with someone on inside yelling something, but I couldn't understand what they were saying. All I could hear was the banging. I have felt on edge, very guarded - like I wanted to scream (I did), cry (I didn't), yell (tried not to). I've been sad, angry, anxious, depressed, happy, elated, then sad again. I went through hungry, angry, lonely, tired. I was all of them. What to do. What to do. Eat, drink, walk, sleep, distract, and again, and again. I just want to go to bed for a few days, but I can't. Off to the lake tomorrow and......the mother-in-law (Hear me SCREAM). I hope she'll be OK?
