I woke up yesterday feeling miserable, I thought I had relapsed and smoked.  Although as I gained consciousness I then became aware that it was merely a dream.  A good dream in respect that it reminds me how horrible I would feel should I ever relapse.  So it is just over three weeks today, I have been out drinking with friends who smoke and have resisted the urge to relapse by reminding myself of what a nasty addiction nicotine is.  I woke up the following mornings proud that I did not succumb to ques.   There was one night I was hanging out with my wife who smokes and I had an overwhelming urge to have just one… I rolled a cigarette… then I came inside and went to this Freedom board and read.  The feeling past, I had no problem with my resolve.  It was the only strong urge just before the end of week 2.  I felt so bad about it… and I really wanted to reach week 2, now it is week 3, and each week is becoming a milestone.  I’m looking forward to having Christmas with family and going to a festival where I don’t have to sneak away to feed my addiction.  I have definitely felt more energetic, not in a huge way… but I think I am less lazy.
