Day 19

Good morning guys, I'm feeling rotten today, got some sort of flu thingy that is going on and I just want to stay in bed all day

Instead I'll be doing the taxi driving chores driving the kids around between swimming, piano. Gymnastics... I wish I had their lives when I wad their age. For the 1st time since I quit I had one of those vivid dreams and I remember it as if it was actually real - I smoked a cigarette on my dreams! When I woke up I was really upset because I thought I had actually smoked lol I think I'm losing my mind. Funny thing is still no cravings at all, I'm fine all through the day. Have a nice weekend everyone

Afternoon mmaya, I hear you with the dream, woke up Day 14 after dreaming I smoked too and it really set me back for the day but got through, kept saying to myself it was a dream and look how I am feeling from dreaming it and it spurred me on to never light up that one smoke. My hubbie who gave up over a year and a half ago still has reoccurring dreams that he smoked, the mind is a strange thing!

Agreed, never underestimate the power of a sick mind...on my case! I really think the secret is to just accept it, don't fight it.... The "whatever" culture is in order. Hope you're doing good today R.

Just came back from: swimming for #1, piano #2,swimming #2 and parent on duty for 2 long boring hours. I usually struggle to go through the parent on duty thing because it's really boring and I would have to snik out the back to have a fag because it's not good example to smoke outside the building in national swimming club

Today, I enjoyed the boredom, every single bit of the 2 almost 3 hours of sitting and smiling at the beautiful children misbehaving and being rude without reaching for a cigarette and without even thinking about it. I'm getting good at this, I don't know if it is the champix or a new me,but I like it 😄

Well done mmaya, probably better for your flu to be out and about too as will take your mind off it...kids really do your heart good aswell, I have a mixture of 4 nieces and nephews living close by and really love being around them to bring a smile to my face.....

Yes nieces and nephews are great, so I heard, you can give them back to the parents at night, mine won't go anywhere I'm stuck with them at least for the next 10 years lol - just messing!
