Thanks Work appreciate it from a great friend for sure. It is a hard fight. Everyone on these boards is experiencing that at some level no matter their day count. But the rewards are definitely there if you work for it.

Here in THIS house, we Kill the Can. If it's not a top priority, go to one of the bitch sites where they "hurt the can" or "call the can names." - Pre

This is so much more that just throwing your name on a list, it is placing your word or promise that you will not use nicotine and it should be done everyday. - MCarmo44

I need this place, because i am an addict. I cannot forget that...if i do i will forget how to quit. - Schaef418

Quote from: Jim
I'm on my 6th day and I've barely slept at all. Also, my stomach has this little pain on the left side that I'm a bit worried about. In terms of the withdrawls, I sort of have a "bring it on" attitude this time. I wouldn't say I feel like shit because the confidence I've gained in just 6 days is well worth the lack of sleep. I finally feel clean. Not hiding anything.

I've avoided the "replacement" stuff like mint chew, seeds, etc. I think part of this quit is getting away from the idea that I constantly have to be distracted to deal with life. I'm not just trying to quit nicotine, I'm trying to avoid the need to hide and act like a child. If I dipped mint stuff or jerkey chew I think it would make me want the real thing. But, everyone is different.

I'm trying to be constantly on guard. When I feel like things are going great I'm really cautious and get on this website.

So, in terms of my 72 hours, I'm a little bit beyond that but the sleeping thing hasn't changed.
Jim, you're more than a week in now. How're things going for ya? I remember the sleep does take awhile to come back. Just ODAAT  it will get better

Good sleep can take a while to come back. I remember my first good night of sleep after quitting and it was great. You'll get there. Keep fighting. You are doing this.

Addiction is a bitch. Logic and emotion can overcome resolve. I need help and am here to help.

I'm here and I am quit today. Tomorrow, I don't worry until today. I am undefeated by posting and taking my quit daily.

Congrats but we still are at war. Right?
