A sleepy quitter..

[wastepanel]

Deer archery season opened Monday. I'll be hitting the woods Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening. Going to be a good stepping stone as it's been years since I've been in the woods with out longhorn or timberwolf. Betting my smoky mountain peach has a more natural scent than the real stuff.

Awesome man.

Besides you SMS, what's your plan?

Do you have other nicotine users going with you? Have you told them you've quit? You gonna carry a cell phone and stay checked in?

My grandfather-in-law, is the owner. Her Uncle, my supervisor. Her mother, the face and voice of the company. I also work with her 2 cousins...one of which is the daughter of the uncle. Needless to say, I'm not the favorite. (maybe my MIL) I could choke em today.

there is no way that i could work with my inlaws, for starters they dont have a business 'Crazy' , but mostly because my FIL tells the same store over and over and my MIL knows EVERYTHING, just ask her!

I don't think it's the nic....but I sure want to quit my freaking job lately. But...I work for and with my in laws. I'm pretty well pissed all the time if I'm here.

I'm with ya on the no sleep thing brotha, I'm on day 17...well day 18 in about an hour and I have been getting around 3 hours since I quit. There was one night I got all exited because I got 5 hours but it did not last. Hopefully we will be sleeping like baby's once again here soon.

sunflower seeds seems to work for me too so far....The bad thing is, i cant stop eating them!!!! my blood pressure is gonna be sky fucking high before long..quitting dipping is gonna make me have a heart attack!!!!lol

Temptation-

you may want to re-check that as blood pressure should go down in the absence of nicotene which is a stimulant. After approx 60 days quit I went back to the Dr. and my blood pressure that had been in the 160/100 range was 132/84, the best its been in years.

So dont sweat it, relax as you are getting healthier as you go through this one and only quit.

have you tried sunflower seeds? altoids? one of my tricks is to shove 4-5 altoids where i used to put my dip, seems to work if i'm getting a bad craving.

Sooooo, the oral fixation...I'm still using herbal stuff on day 21. I'd like to stop spending money on it. Any advice there from those that have used the fake stuff?

Hey - it will just take time, I am on day 89 and still have some fake after opening the tin 2 weeks ago. I use less that the size of a kernal of corn each time. Just do less and less, mix it up with some sugarfree gun and candy.

Hack you are just 3 weeks. There are some here that are still using it regularly after being in the 100's, and some still use the fake as a fall back for whenever the cravings hit them hard.

Remember that the fake is just that and it is no longer poisoning your body. It will come, give it time.

Last night was freaking miserable. Don't even know what the hell happened. Fought with the wife...and I wasn't even craving (I don't think). It was enough to make me want to a little though. I think that pissed me off even more. I mean crap....I just got done doing yoga X....you know how hard it is to keep a guy from mellowing out after yoga. I needed a heavy bag.

how are you feeling today?

Pretty good honestly. Night sweats were horrid last night, but I'm learning to cope. And since sweat is one of the bodies mechanisms for ridding itself of toxins...them I actually find it therapeutic. Sleeping better though. Looking forward to the weekend when I don't have to worry about my alarm. Oh, and no hooch yet today, even drove to work without something in my mouth. Though I will be pinching the hooch eventually today.

thats great! keep up the good work, you are stronger than that nic bitch!
