THANK YOU for the post heartcore!! Your response really means a lot to me. I relate to a LOT of that, especially the 'never counting' weed part. Although I will say that subconciously, I knew i was swapping addictions when I quit drinking and that i'd eventually have to deal with my weed smoking.
I am interested in the dreams too! I actually had one last night, since I hadn't smoked due to being sick. It wasn't as vivid as I know they will get, but the truth is the VAST majority of time I do not remember any dreams at all.
Tell me, how did you keep busy at first? The urge to smoke just permeates every aspect of my life. It's hard to even think about alternatives since i'm so used to automatically reaching for it no matter what I had to do.
