Hiya Moony. Just keep struggling on for as long as it takes, it is harder for some than others, but, we will all tell you how much it's worth it in the end. Even if you did think you needed to smoke you didn't did you. Good for you getting through these hard times. You will feel better, don't know when but you'll know. Won't be long and it will be a full week. Well done. David
Keep up the good work, it is'nt easy but with the help of this forum you will find it helps.
i before have never got past a few days and on a couple of occasions a week and yet look at me now 1 month quit and this is thanks to the wonderful people on this forum.
I know it's easy to say but it really will get easier. Keep as busy as you can and stay focused. Spend as much time as you can on here, I found it very helpful earlier on in my quit to look at both old and new posts on here.
It will get easier Moony, you will get to a point where you have more good days than bad, and eventually most days will be all good and you will look back and think thank god I stuck it out.
Just hang on in there, it will all get much better
Just to echo what everyone else is saying, Moony, the first few days are always hairy. The dream thing is normal too; the important thing is to remember that dreams don't actually *mean* anything, especially not the bad ones (Freud was deluded, but that's an argument for a different forum). I got over mine by keeping a dream journal - nothing kills a nightmare better than looking at it in the harsh light of day. After a few days, the nicotine receptors in your brain will realise that they can't get their fix by throwing a tantrum, and the nightmares will stop.
I found the first week to be hardest and then it got easier until the other day (Day 27) and I had a wobble. I didn't have a cigarette in the end, I couldn't spoil all I'd achieved. Today is a new day and feeling much better. Thanks for your support, not long until you have finished a week and hopefully it will be better for you.
