Nope!

I am sticking with it.....we go again this evening. The dizziness did let up with the motion sickness med and lasted all day, to which, I said, if no dizziness, then I would proceed....so here we go again, lol. Changed my event on the calendar to tonight also. If I need to vent, ramble or S.O.S., I may do so here, as all my posts be in same spot and can look back at all of my whatever. Without the dizziness, I felt normal, so guess I will do a new normal and go from there. I have a family function tomorrow, but I tell ya, if I am not up to socializing, I will stay put. My daughter in law saw my owl last night on the power lines at her driveway and sent me a picture. That owl is watching over her also....you all have a wonderful evening!!

You will get through this @Muddled Quince, We are all pulling for you!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! One day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time, and even one second at a time!!! I promise you, and we all can, the withdrawal symptoms DO GO AWAY!! PLEASE stick with it!!! PLEASE!!!

NOPE!!

NOPE

.......I do believe some "junkie thinking" just entered, between my last post and sorting the laundry. Junkie thinking, as planning on when to throw away the smokes now, later today or in the morning. Might be the first time I have saw it that way. I may be bat crazy before this weekend is done!! I told myself....if no dizzy, then you got this.

NOPE!

NOPE!

I have the owl picture printed out and taped to the wall. Your saying on owls, seeing, but not I, was very comforting, so I may put that quote on my Owl picture. I like the gum but those nicotine lozenges but did not like them and the pouches, are something I think I would get addicted to. I done some reserching on supplements and herbs for the dizziness, that may or may not help, so I have a plan in place on that. Before I throw away this pack of smokes, I took a motion sickness pill, then took a nap and at this point, I am not near as dizzy as I was. I had reached a point, where I was dizzy, regardless of sneaking a smoke or not smoking, so I knew that my body was getting terribly confused. I also got a Magnesium spray for my feet and the essential oils in those are a wonderful aroma. I also got liquid IV, which is electrolytes and a huge bag of LifeSaver hard candies. Few mints plus a king size Almond Joy Payday candy bar for little rewards along the way. And I have not used my diffuser yet, so good time to put Breath essential oil or black pepper or something soothing in it. I will be attempting this either this evening or first thing in the morning again. I will keep the gum on standby and only use it, if I am about to cave and go to the gas station, as for me, even tho it helps, it is just delaying this nicotine withdrawal, but in the end, my not inhaling on my lungs comes first, so if I need to do the gum or patch, I will. I remember asking my husband....do you think there is any way to make this withdrawal fun instead of miserable??? He was like....I don't know, but we can try. He said, bake all kinds of cookies, maybe. We shall see. I well recall several times, through the day.....I literally shouted NO and then slammed a kitchen cabinet door, as there is something about slamming a door, in the kitchen, that is oddly satisfying. I have two shih tzu dogs and both of them would look at me and slink off, lol. Thank you for your support....

NOPE…
