Lady- right on. I started a thread on fear and should have read some of these first. I don't know if I'm all that courageous, but I am too damned scared to screw this quit up by lighting up a cigarette.
I had a dream last night where someone offered me a cig ( and believe me, on the patch, these dreams are in digital high definition) and it might as well have been a rattlesnake the way I pulled back. Woke up this morning and thought for the first time in this quit how terrified I am of smoking 14,600 cigs annually again because I "slipped". 14,600-that's a 2ppd smoker and we're not that uncommon. It flips me right out.
This fear or courage....whatever it is....is a great thing. I won't say I'm not still having quite a fight. But it's great knowing I'm past the point where buying a pack has any sort of sense or logic to it.
Ahhh, deep breath.
Thanks to all you.
Bob
