I'm having really vivid dreams that I started smoking again...

[Violet_Crumble]

They're the sort where in dream-time it seems like about a tiny fraction of the dream is me smoking about ten smokes in a row, and then it seems to go on for hours and hours where I'm ripping myself to pieces and guilting out totally about being so weak. And the weird thing is I wake up all freaked out even though the dream's not scary, and I can taste the smoke, it was so vivid. I'd put the vivid dreams down to the champix, but I've been on them for over two months and didn't have dreams like that at the start. Not that it really matters all that much, coz I don't even get the urge to have a smoke anymore when I'm awake, and I've done the getting drunk temptation test and not given in. I just wish I could dream about something a bit more interesting than smoking and guilt *sigh*

1. Those are not dreams. They are nighmares. You just have to work

through it all, work your steps, go through the program, and eventually you will start having dreams about breathing fresh clean air.
Thats what I went thru' in the last 24 years.

2. When I was smoke-free (for a fabulous, freedom-filled year), I'd always have

smoking dreams and feel so discouraged (in my dream) that I'd succumbed.

I went through drug/alcohol treatment and we'd all announce when we had our first drug/drinking dream.

It seems to go hand in hand with addiction. Hang in there! :pals:

3. I stopped over seven months ago

In my dreams I start smoking and feel guilty! It's normal. and I think it is a good thing. your sub conscience is adapting.

4. I've had the same thing!

I tried to quit about a month ago I went 3 weeks, then tried the getting drunk test and smoked two cigs. So now I've not smoked in about a week. I know smoking dreams are wierd
