Cheap shot

Crappy night sleep, had nightmares of past events only vamped up to win a movie oscar, when I woke up I wanted a smoke like mad, nope. Resist. Then back to sleep to have another nightmare that awakes me and desperately wanting a smoke, decided would just be better to stay awake after only a few hours sleep. Nicotine demon trying to get at me even in my sleep...what a cheap shot!!!! NOPE.

I like the mindset Tracey, keep it up! Are you using Champix? Nightmares are a side effect I believe.....

I can cope with a lot but the night time thing and disrupted sleep is a definite no.

I had a bad day today wanting a ciggie most of the afternoon but thank goodness (now) I made it through. It makes you stronger in a way for the next batch of temptation - hopefully.

I remember waking and desperately wanting to smoke; as I used to do if I couldn't sleep. It will pass, probably not much consolation at the moment but it will.

Ouch...C/Tracey....Yes Champix ?????... It is a crazy experience Tracey...The one moment you feel on top of the world and the next you are in the gutters (Been there )

The best you can do is to fight and very easy for me to say now but whilst struggling it was horrifying...Believe, it do go away... when ???? I can not say...Stay Strong !!!

Oh dear not good, I have heard Champix can cause these weird dreams. Keep your mind positive you will beat that nicodemon. He's a nasty little fellow he doesn't give in without a fight but he can be beaten
