Dreaming about smoking is normal, as is the anxiety of being around smokers, the main thing is that you want to quit and this is your quit and nurture and take care of it!!! Try and change your normal habits around smoking, my first thing used to be coffee and the patio and a cig, now it's cranberry juice and this site. Welcome to a great place, you really can do this!!! Breathing deep & clean for almost 76 days....check out whyquit.com it really helps too. Best wishes.

Congrats on your quit. I found that I had to spend less time around my smoking friends when I first quit. I did explain to them that quitting was really hard for me but for health reasons, I had to do it. A real friend will support you in your quit and understand why you can't be around smokers. I smoked for 30 years and I have been smoke free since September 5, 07. I have found this site to be helpful and supportive. Please join us and best of luck to you.

Welcome adn congrats!Tessa is right, you may have to steer clear of your smokey friends for just a little while, or try hanging out at places where they can't smoke around you. That's how i handled the first month or two. It still bothers me, but only because the smell grosses me out!
Dreaming about smoking is also totally normal, it will subside eventually.
Take care and stay strong!

Hi Daisy and welcome to this great site, hope your quit is going o.k, day 1 nearly over for me today! After smoking for any period of time, I guess you are gonna have the odd dream about them, can't be helped really. As for your friends, well you can spend a lot more time with them when you are strong enough to do so!

Good Luck..

Paul

Dreaming of smoking is a dirty
trick the addiction pulls on us
Try to stand or sit where you
won't smell it. Just be careful
that you don't take a puff or smoke one or your hooked again.
