The 'staying quit' part of quitting is where most people run into trouble. Have you done any of the homework exercises? They may help you begin to see quitting from a doably different perspective. Doing is very much different than just reading. Just a gentle push :) Steve Hi Brigitte,

Warren's associations, his criteria for widget weighing, are the physical sensations we experience around events like spring cleaning or hanging by the camp fire. The event may not have been encountered since we quit so there's a 'first' there, but the physical sensations are mostly what we deal with on a daily basis. Always look to the physical and be ready to take care of that. In time, Warren will be automatically offering up nonsmoking responses to the physical regardless of the external event. Dreams, something I read a long time ago that made sense and I've hung onto it... "Dreams are the way our subconscious categorizes and files away conscious information." That we may not recognize it or that it may appear to be the opposite of what we consciously believe is just that way it is. It's the way we internalize change. In 8 yrs of talking to a lot of other quitters, I've never heard of anyone who went back to smoking because of a <!--more--> smoking dream. However, as the subject line said, .... it's only my 2 cents, Steve Hi,
First ’spring cleaning’… Warren’s associations, his criteria for
widget weighing, are the physical sensations we experience around events
like spring cleaning or hanging by the camp fire. The event may not have
been encountered since we quit so there’s a ‘first’ there, but the physical
sensations are mostly what we deal with on a daily basis. Always look to
the physical and be ready to take care of that. In time, Warren will be
automatically offering up nonsmoking responses to the physical regardless
of the external event.
Dreams, something I read a long time ago that made sense and I’ve hung
onto it… “Dreams are the way our subconscious categorizes and files away
conscious information.” That we may not recognize it or that it may appear
to be the opposite of what we consciously believe is just that way it is.
It’s the way we internalize change. In 8 yrs of talking to a lot of other
quitters, I’ve never heard of anyone who went back to smoking because of a

smoking dream.
However, as the subject line said, …. it’s only my 2 cents,
Steve

My sister quit smoking over 20 years ago and to this day she occasionally has those dreams!! AND they still terrify her...she would tell you that they keep her a non-smoker by making her guard her quit that much more. I was quit for 5 1/2 years and never had them. We are all different. Try not to worry too much. Dreams are only dreams. We have enough challenge controlling our conscious minds!! Barbara Oh Lauren,
