I find it interesting that the majority of quitters on this site seem to have problems sleeping, especially early on. I was the complete opposite - for that first week while I was in the fog, all I wanted to do was sleep! When I was dipping, I'd stay up until midnight or later every night, and then wake up each morning like a grumpy bear.

During the first week of my quit, some 50 days ago now, all I wanted to do was sleep. I was going to be around 8:00 for the first few days, and then over time it got more reasonable. Now I go to bed around 10:30pm, not because I want to, but because Im just tired (it's actually harder to stay up late now!)

I do wake up feeling like a million bucks compared to the way I used to feel when I dipped, so I'm definitely not complaining. Part of the many benefits you'll notice once you stick it out and stay quit. It will get better - just keep quitting!

Thanks Twins and Erik. No nicotine gum at the doctor, just some Ambien. Erik I know it's not luck bro, just asking for some good will and I think I found it here on this site. Also Cbird, I ordered some Jake's last night...thank you.
nice job there guy, and come on the site and bitch and whine all you want, that is what we are here for.

And yes you will get good will, you may even get us twisting that arm behind you and throwing you against the sign in the room that says:

'One Day At A Time, now Make Your Daily Choice, Your Word or the Crap'

so like Eric I will not wish you luck, but will be there quit with you today, will wake and make you that promise tomorrow. And can only think that since you are here that you will make that choice too.

I'm going to quit.  My name is Jason and I'm a jerk for keeping Kodiak in business for 10 years....

Kinda nervous about sleep.  I've quit before and know that sleeping is going to be an issue for me.  Getting some Ambien and some gum for the next two weeks.  Wish me luck boys cause I'm DONE with the chew! 

Ps - I'm sure I'll be here in 3 days whining about my cravings.  'zombie'
I hope you don't mean nicotine gum because this is a non nicotine site. I have also had trouble sleeping my whole life. Ambien helps a lot, I recommend it. Stay quit brother.
Not going to wish you luck, quitting is not luck, it is a choice. Choose to quit, choose to get in here and interact, choose to control your addiction. Do this on a daily basis and you won't need luck.
