That will be the number of smoke free days about 10pm tonight. This has been much easier than I thought it would be. Today there was one short crave that lasted about 10 seconds. As I mentioned in a comment I’m even starting to forget my pills. Since I’m writing this around 7:30pm I think I better grab one and then finish this. You’ll want to know about the “vivid dream” I had last night.
In my dream there was a woman making donuts in a large glass fryer. The fryer looked like an aquarium filled with oil with the donuts at the bottom. So far nothing really out there right? Hang on. In the top of the “aquarium” fryer were kittens swimming around. The kittens were swimming kind of like fish and not going up for air. I asked the girl how they were able to breathe and she told me they all had a small plastic tube pumping air into their mouths. I looked closer and sure enough they did. I had her pour some buttermilk on the donuts and they all caught fire. I’m not sure how they were able to be on fire while submerged in a big tank of oil but dreams don’t always make sense. After they went out the kittens continued to swim around in the top of the tank.
Then thankfully I woke up. I know there was one more dream but I can’t remember what it was about.
This would take a “dream analyzer” to figure out. Are you fairly normal most of the time?

I’m thinking your now craving more food, like buttermilk donuts… and your kittens were making noise while you were dreaming. That’s my guess.

It’s a dream. Don’t try to figure it out. It means nothing.
Glad to hear things are going well.

I just realized I forgot to mention that vivid dreams are one of the main side effects of Chantix. The other one is nausea which I am glad to say I haven’t really had except for 2 days early on.

Mmmmmmmmmm. Deep fried kittens! Did you put buttermilk on *them*?
I took an antibiotic once that gave me vivid, not always pleasant dreams. I didn’t like it much.

I was on antibiotics in the hospital once, and watched a team of horses pull a stage coach through the closed door into the closet. And I was awake. Weird things can happen.
