I have not been on but that is because I have been meditating and trying to enjoy my non smoking life.  (well get used to it....while telling myself I am enjoying it)  If  you tell yourself something repeatedly it will become true.  Psych.  I am enjoying it.  I don't have to worry about running out overnight.  I don't have to worry whether I have to get money out to make sure I have them.  I am breathing better and feeling more alive.  For this I am thankful.  Now I have quit cold turkey many times in the past with each of my six pregnancies.  Last night, however (not pregnant FYI), I encountered a whole new level of crazy craving.  I am down to like 2 cravings a day and they are more like "time of day" cigarettes.  Once in the evening and once late at night.  They were my two "aaaahhhh I am finally alone now" and my "aaahhhh everyone is finally asleep and it's quiet now" cigarettes.  I basically push through the craving like it is nothing.  Then last night, I dream that I am sneaking behind people's back smoking and that I keep telling everyone I am just going to smoke one.  Don't overreact.  I did not wake up craving cigarettes.  Quite the opposite.  I was furious with the "me" from the dream.  I have never in ALL 6 of my previous quits during pregnancy had this dream state craving.  Is this normal????  Anyone???
