Smoke Free Day 18 - St. Valentine's Day

Day 18 was Valentine's Day and was originally going to be my quit date. However, typical me, I couldn't wait around and gave up well ahead of schedule and still to my amazement, things are really good and I'm honestly not struggling at all. I don't know but maybe it helped because I smoked Silk Cut Silver which are so low in tar and nicotine (0.1mg and 1mg respectively), that my body has really not suffered any physical withdrawal. There are definitely mental things going on however........

I've had the dream again. This time, my brother's front room sitting down in the corner, glass ashtray on the floor with 4 or 5 half smoked cigarettes in it and there I am having a couple of puffs on a freshly-lit cigarette! As in the other dreams, the feeling of disappointment was so strong when I suddenly realised that I was smoking again and I truly believed it was really happening. Such a relief to wake up!
