Hey,
Just wanted to say hi. I'm a 20 year addict. Quit cold turkey 42 days ago. I'm glad to have found this site. Also, looking for some advice. I'm still having real issues with sleeping. Never had problems with sleep before and it's taking its toll on me. I'm not in danger of relapsing. I just need to get some sleep.
Thanks

Welcome aboard brother. I'm 48, have dipped skoal, or RedSeal since I was about 12 or 13 years old. I quit the Saturday after Thanksgiving this year. There is a lot of support hear. Just be sure post the roll promising not to use for today and repeat the process tomorrow. I will never wish you luck with your Quit because Luck has nothing to do with it. Just DO it.

Congrats on your decision to quit. I had horrible troubles sleeping too. Found Tylenol Simply Sleep worked well. Basically it's Tylenol PM without the aspirin. Its actually same active ingredient as Benadryl, dosage and all so you can get that instead and lots of cheaper generic options too. Won't knock you out hard or addictive, just make you drowsy enough to doze off. Shout if you need anything.

It is called withdrawals. Can't Sleep. Can't stay awake. Can't shit. Pissed off at the world. Walking around in a fog. The withdrawls will stay with you for a while longer. Start reading everything on this site. You are well into your quit, but the support here will keep you that way. Sign up with your group and rejoice.
