Where is BAMF? He missed roll yesterday, and I don't see him on there today. Also, he didn't respond to my PM. April '15 members you need to get after this guy if you have digits.
thinking up a new name perhaps?
C'mon brother....get back in here.
Where you at?
I've texted him 3 times now. Radio silence. If he ever decides to come back, he needs to understand that this isn't what brotherhood and accountability is all about. Cutting bait when the going gets tough is about as Anti-BAMF as you can get.
Well said.

BAMF - hope all is going well. This site will change and save your life. Nicotine is a wicked addiction, but the process here will give you the ability to win one day at a time. Post roll every day.

If I can help ever let me know. Remember, the enemy is a plant.

I am journaling and cataloguing my quit, so this is just an update for me to look back on.

***UPDATE*** 01/05/2015 (DAY 13)

So the holidays are over and I am glad to be back at work, or so I thought, this place gives me the craves like nothing else. The craves are, however, much easier to deal with. Lots of water / big red gum / Jalapeño sunflower seeds (though lately gum and seeds have not been as important) - Mainly lots of water - if I'm in extreme duress or time of boredom: gum/seeds.

Most of the physical discomfort I experienced through the first week - has abated (no more headaches, no more extreme salivating, my jaws and cheeks don't ache and tingle anymore, my pooper seems to be functioning at regular capacity/intervals, etc..).

I would say the worst remaining thing is sleep. Some nights have been good, and those will trick me into thinking I'm good to go. Most nights are sleepless and I toss and turn. Even with a little Benadryl it doesn't help, I just feel unrested AND groggy, so no more of that. Exercise seems to be the key here for me, If I hit the weights or play a game of basketball I sleep better.

If I could recommend anything to a new quitter it would be to put the booze down for a while. That is probably my biggest off-duty trigger. When I put it down, the craves were much easier to deal with at home. I was never a huge drinker, but on weekends and during holidays I liked to imbibe (especially football season - that's a holiday, right?).

Additional info to add to this vignette: I am hungry all the time; I have moments where I have to scream into my vest so I don't smash someone in the face, yaya rage baby!!; I have stopped with the Omeprazole for the first time in several years, wow that is pretty huge, no more acid medicine all because I put the can down -- that's actually probably one of the best things/side effects I have experienced since putting it down.

In a nut shell: Water, exercise = Good. Booze, Benadryl = bad (For me)
Nice quit going BAMF. Good job chronicling your quit here, and I like your advice to the new quitters to lay off the booze for a while. It is the hugest of triggers. I quit with you today!
Thanks Zillah - and go Seahawks!
Try some melatonin. I forget what the recommended amount is but I know its worked for many folks here.

Your sleep cycle will regulate soon. I am guessing around 30 to 45 days I began sleeping like Rip Van Winkle.

How're things BAMF? You good?
Yeah brother, just set out CY2015 budget with the old lady, gonna be a good year to not poison myself. and save some money in the process. Finally sleeping at night, still get the craves but again more subtle. And every time I do I text someone or get on here... One day at a time - sometimes one minute at a time. So far so good.

Thanks for stopping by and asking I appreciate the time and words!
