Nicotine is typically eliminated from the body within 2 to 3 days, however, physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms may last for much longer depending on the individual.

Well done...on day three. I found this to be my worse day so far...I'm on day 11. I don't rmember any vivid dreams for dreaming about smoking..but something is definatly going on while I'm asleep. I've had night terrors...really scarry...these have now stopped but aparently (according to hubby)...I'm still shouting out in my sleep...and (I love this) giggling! Oh I do wish I could remember my dreams, they must be good. LOL I guess all this extra pure oxygen is triggering more vivid dreams..hang in there, CJ

Hi Rufoo.Yes I had smoking dreams at the beginning of my quit.I am on day 32 now.Everyone in my dreams were either smoking lighting up or putting out their cigs,it wasn't related to the dream at all,they were just there.
It will pass,I think it is just your subconcious having a go while you sleep. Day 3 the nicotine should be out of your system.Most people have commented on dreams about smoking,only for a while though then it passes.Good luck,don't worry,we are all here for you.You are doing great!!!

Yes! I've had several smoking dreams -- totally normal. Eventually they turned into nightmares where I was SOOO happy that I hadn't smoked when I woke up!

Congratulations on your quit. Just keep at it no matter what! You CAN do this :) Hugs to you!

I've only had 1 smoking dream.. and I can't remember it well at all! Mmmmmm? Wonder why.. it's not like I don't think about it EVERY day!!!

Well done Rufoo! My piece of advice is to sign in on the Roll Call list as soon as you can and then sign in daily - it helps to keep you focused every day by being part of a team of quitters! That's what we are here I think.. one big team! :)

Boy oh boy, I know all too well about smoking dreams. They upset me terribly on waking up. I feel so guilty before I realize it was just a dream.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

    My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
