One week today.

One week today I smoked my last cigarette. Today has been a great day. We were at my latest granddaughter's christening and I was able to spend the day with the new baby and the other 5, without worrying about being smelly granny. I missed out on none of the conversation. I didn't skulk outside puffing on a fag and I actually felt more relaxed and confident than when I was smoking.

At certain points there was a little urge crept up on me, but it's really more of a habit thing, and the pride I'm feeling in myself, more then compensates for the lack of smoking. The regret and the sadness is wearing off.

I need to keep hold of this good feeling.

Thank you both.

Day 9 today . I had the 'I was smoking a very long menthol cigarette' dream last night. Amazing how vivid at was and how disappointed in myself I felt when I wakened up. My sleep patterns have definitely altered because of the patches. I take it off about 8pm but I'm still having very restless sleep.

I'd like to say how helpful I'm finding the advice on here. Ofter I read something and I'd love to put a little 'like' or a 'hear, hear' but as I can't, I'll just put a general thank you to all the supportive and positive posters on here. I find the nicodemon image really effective. I can see his evil face and feel his power weakening on a daily basis. ;).
