I just quit smoking cigarettes today,
right now I feel very in control and very
goal orriented to stop. I also and in
the process of joining a gym in hopes to
get addicted to something healthy instead
of something harmful. I have had a lot
of occuring dreams where I found myself
waking up in the middle of the night
thinking I had a cigarette in my bed or
hand (doing it it), or scrabbling around
in my sheets looking for a lit cigarette.
I soon realize after I have fully woken
up that it is only a dream. This has
happened atleast 20 times over the last
couple of months if not more. It has me
more puzzled than worried. I hope with
quitting the dreams will stop. I'm
looking more for opinions than real
scientific answers or any similar
experiences with any kind of addiction or
drug. I have a very addictive-compulsive
personality (both parents ex-alcoholics
and a whole family tree leaved with them).
I wonder if this has anything to do with
the dreams? I also wonder if it is just
a very vivid midnight craving?
Would like to hear anykind of replies
thank you,
kword

Hi: I quit smoking 10 days ago and dream
about the cigarettes every night, I don't
sleep very well and I think about it 24/7.
I hae the nicoderm patch but still crave
the cigarette very bad. The dreams are
normal, it will probably go away after a
while.

Hi, well I havent had a cigarette for
9days and i'm coping ok. No dreams for me
but about a month ago I had a chest
infection and it was real bad and painful,
then about a week ago I caught flu, again
it went straight to my chest. I got so
fed up and down and I felt so awful I
threw my cigarettes away! Now I am
feeling better and still dont want one. I
am also trying for another baby so its all
come at the right time.
Good luck to both you ladies! Stay strong
hopefully we can quit together!
