That's how I melted my keyboard. Smoking at the computer, fell asleep sitting up with a cigarette in my hand. Now, the is the obvious I was burned with a cigarette hole right below my space bar.
I have wondered this myself. If I didn't smoke in the evening and then slept all night and wasn't smoking as soon as I woke up, then why can't I go the same amount of time during waking hours. Makes me wonder what my waking mind is telling me. Also makes me wonder if this is all made up, sure seems very real during the day though.
Thanks for the thought, so many people on this site with the same thoughts I have had, I guess it's because we are all more alike than different. and we all deal with the same things, like being human
I really like this thought too...but it's funny cause before I never dreamt about smoking (or at least that I remember)...since I quit I smoke in my dreams every night...and feel horribly guilty, until I wake up. Gratifying in a way!
Actually, I didn't drop it. I was still holding it when I woke up. It was resting on my keyboard. I know what you are saying. I just thought it was funny. Good Luck.

Hello,
My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit.
HOW I QUIT
I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started.
When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
