G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required.)

Thankyou everybody.

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!!

Oh golly, Not sure Doreen which would be worse....being dizzy or not sleeping!! I am sleeping very well, but the last two nights, smoking or vaping or something smoke related has been in my dreams. I know full well....this is where that saying on....one minute feels like an hour, so one day feels like forever. I may be a gum girl for a bit, as that has to be better then inhaling all of the chemicals and stuff. I well remember back in March where I almost made it 3 days and I remember high anxiety, brain fog and dizzy, plus I was not fully committed to it, but I did not want to let the family down and I felt that I should be stronger and able to do this. So I took a break from quitting, then tried again and again and I finally made it 12 hours. Took a few hours break, then made it to 14 hours. And at this point, almost made it 2 days. A few of those times, I did use anxiety med, which did help, although I would prefer to not take any drugs, at this time. I contribute this last attempt to an owl. Right before this last quit, I went outside and walked in the woods to try and not think, as sometimes, not thinking, then answers appear. I was standing there and I looked up and there was an owl, not very far from me. That Owl actually scared me, as he was staring at me. So I googled seeing an owl in daylight and it said, that sometimes owl's are just out through the day, as they have babies to feed and sometimes, they appear when you are trying to make a decision. So, I deduced, seeing the wise old owl, was my sign to get this done. We do follow the almanac moon signs when planting garden and stuff, so if one followed that, in 2 days, the signs would be right again. So....seems like tonight will be a good night to get quiet again, rewatch Joel's videos and decide on straight cold turkey again with the....suck it up buttercup attitude or use the gum, to just keep from inhaling smoke and maybe the moon signs. Thanks....think I needed to ramble on for a bit.

I will keep trying but I am reaching a point that the dizziness is driving me bonkers. The dizzy will let up some if I chew a piece of 4 mg. gum, which I did this afternoon, but that is still nicotine, which I am fighting, so...... What I do know, is once this heat wave here lets up, I can go out and walk farther and work in my flowerbeds. We are in the 100 heat index stage with high humidity, so few more days of that, I hope!! Cinnamon stick did not work. So I read a lot on here today.
