UGH SO DISGUSTING

I thought after going without for over 6 months I would never have one......

I was entertaining friends and family and everyone was having a good time, laughing, talking and relaxing. I don't know why I was stressing. I had put the dogs outside to lessen the chaos. There was plenty of food. Why couldn't I relax and enjoy myself? Decided to check on the dogs and find a little quiet for a minute. As I headed to the door I spotted an open pack and lighter on the counter. It belonged to my non-smoking brother, I knew he would never miss one so I snatched it and headed out.

I was just about to light up when another family arrived so I quickly tucked it away. Thinking they unknowingly just saved my quit. Back inside I find smoke boiling out of the oven. I opened windows and doors and passed out dish towels for fanning it out and found I had lit up without thinking and smoked half of it.

My last thought before waking up was......What will Dale say???

YEP I finally had my first and hopefully my last smokemare.

SOOOO glad it was just a dream.

The fact that the cigarettes you found were your "non-smoking brother's" gave me my FIRST clue!  WHEW - but you had me going up until then!

Isn't it amazing that you now view that dream relapse as "disgusting"?  Wonderful, huh?

You had me going there for awhile. Smokemares are not fun at all. 

Isn't it interesting that Dale popped into your head even before waking up.

He has had quite an influence on many of us, me included 

I'm soooo glad you are still an EX!

Phyllis, I was having lunch and I nearly choked, tears welled up in my eyes and my heart just sank. Then, I realized you were describing your smokemare!  You can't do that to us again!

I'm so glad you're AWAKE! 

Awareness keeps us safe! Complacency kills a Quit!

It was actually a Blessing, Phyllis!

Don't you ever do that to us again!  LOL    I believed it for a hot sec and already started to compose my thoughts to you and then I heard you on the nightmare!      Is that really the first you've had?     I've had a few, they are scary.     I'm glad you are still paving the way for me following behind you!

Still love ya!

Those smokemares are horrible.  I still have one once in awhile and I am always so happy when I wake up that it was a dream.

BTW, you scared me also and I was ready to cry.
