Congratulations to you and Mr J on 6months, or better yet, 200 big ones!!! Are you still buying plants for you rewards? If so, you must have one heck of a garden by now!! Whatever it is that you are doing, you're doing it right. Sorry about the nightmare but those dreams do have a way of reminding us just how powerful this addiction is. They show us that we should never let our guard down because, in just a flash, we could lose what we have worked so hard for. Keep up the good fight!
Best wishes to you and Mr Jazz,

Aw, Patrick, good for you. You have done so well with your quit, and I'm so proud to have shared this journey with you. You're quite a guy! I can't brag about my losing 1 pd, but when I hit 7 pds lost I'll shout it from the rooftops!

Major congratulations, Mrs Yazz!! You're right! 200 Days sounds way more impressive than "6 months"; I've been trying it out this morning in anticipation of telling my sister in about three weeks time..." Oh, yeah! I haven't smoked in 200 days..." Makes it sound sort of pilgrimagy or deeply Catholic... and I can top it off with the casual aside " Oh, yeah. And I've dropped 7 lbs also ..."!!

Thanks everybody. It really is a wonderful feeling.
Here's where it gets a little scary - dreaming last night about both hubby and I smoking again. It looked so natural, like we'd never stopped. Thank goodness it was a dream, but it sure made me want one (or ten) - I even thought about digging out a leftover patch and slapping it on. Pathetic or what? Looks like it's going to be "one of those days".
