So my man Sean went from kinda-sorta being on the fence, to now being quit for a week.

Sean, well done, and keep up the good work! I'm sure you've already noticed some improvements, and they're only going to keep getting more substantial and numerous from here on out. Keep us up to date on how things are going!

Day 5 already!


I have been sleeping like shit, tossing and turning all night, which leads to tired days. Not like the fog, I'm actually tired. When does this shit stop messing with my sleep so I can get a good night's sleep already?


Cravings are manageable, and everything else is a work in progress as well.

No dip since Sunday, that's the important part.
It is different for everybody. Sleep took a while for me (don't remember how long), cutting back on coffee helped as the caffeine was no longer balanced by nicotine.
It took me a good 2-3 weeks to come out of the fog and start sleeping better. Don't worry about anything except for right now Sean. You will see things consistently get better and in time you will look back at what you are going thru now and just laugh. I know its hard to think it will ever get better but it does. Hard to explain how much better! Keep going. You are on a righteous path and I promise you will not regret this.
It was a couple weeks for me Sean, but now I sleep better than I have in years. I used to wake up all the time and it was hard for me to get to sleep because that last dip got my heart rate and blood pressure up right before I'd go to bed. Now I'm tired at the end of the day, and instead of prolonging it to sneak one last dip, I just go to bed. I fall asleep pretty quickly now and sleep for 7 or 8 solid hours. It's awesome. Stick with it Sean, I promise you it gets better.
Sleep is overrated. I never seem to get much of it.

Go to GNC and buy something called "Natural Calm." It is a powder that you mix in hot water and drink at night. I'm out in about 10 minutes. It is miraculous. It is a magnesium supplement, so be forewarned that there are some additional side effects the first couple of times that you drink it. Haha.

Dude you are killing it. Seriously. Nice work.

"today you dissided that shit wont control your life. and it wont. unless you let it." - drome
"Not thinking about nicotine is for people who've never used nicotine. We threw that option away with the first dip or drag on a cigarette. We are addicts, and cannot become un-addicted." - wildirish317
"You need to decide how much you really want to be quit." - pky1520
We are always at risk. And probably always will be. That is why I will never get "too quit" to post my +1. Every. Damn. Day. - geis2597
