Cornwallace,

Re: Sleep...Nic addiction has messed with your sleep patterns...It gets worse when you first quit. It took me until about day 10 to get a full night's sleep, by day 20 I was sleeping better than I had in years. Watch your caffeine intake as you will feel more pronounced effects from it.

Keep up the good work,

One of my new buds here at KTC mentioned to me that I should share my story - because I had 15 years of quit and failed 2 years ago with the infamous "just one" - Today is my Day 1. To back up, I dipped cope from 18 to around 32 and then stopped when my wife called me "pathetic" when I settled for a smoke after spending $80 in taxicab fare in Toronto one night searching endlessly for dip in Canada after 8PM (non-existing) - we were there on vacation, I came back to hotel with cigarettes to get my fix - she reminded me that my mother died of lung cancer when I was 21 - smoker - anyway you get the picture - I was humiliated. So, I stopped for 15 years. At 48, thought I could have just one with a new friend - MISTAKE - I am an addict - I can never have ONE - ever. I'm 50 now, married 28 years, 3 kids living in NorCal - life is great now that Day 1 is just about over- I have hope -when I stopped the last time - there was no KTC - all on my own - it is a blessing to have you all in my new family - just wanted to make you aware of my failure - so we help each other to never let our guard down.
