I got a bunch of sleep last night. I feel ok with myself today. i am nearly to day 5. only having two cups of coffee today. This has been a reallly long week for me. i feel almost normal today

The first couple days i had a lot of trouble sleeping, but it's been better tha past two days. But i am still having a weird sense that time is off. it doesn't feel like morning, for instance. is this normal for quitting?

In one hour, it will be three days of this quit. Trying to make this one forever. I slept a bit better last night. need to cut down on coffee and snacks

i mean to quit this time how long does it take before i can start feeling normal again?

cold turkey

it has been a year of failure for me, i have tried to quit so many times since jan 2 2018, i lost count. i am into 24 hours of my current quit attempt. last night i woke up probably 20 times, cant nap either. i know i am getting rem sleep, i remember dreams, but i am sure i am not getting deep sleep. i dont feel rested,and my brain fog is terrible. my chakras are all crazy. i know this is a battle of the wills, but i am unsure who the battle is with

I am having a moment where I feel I have some sort of "control" over my cigarette addiction. Not a lot, but some.

I get "hypnogogic jerks" that jolt me awake every time i start to fall asleep. this happens multiple times a night. like a dozen times or more. this has happened all night for the past two nights (of my quit). i have gotten these jolts before randomely, but this is really intense and just seems to get like this when i try to quit. my psychiatrist doesn't seem overly concerned about it. But it is driving me nuts, and i want to sleep. anyone else have to deal with this?

i just haven't changed my ticker since my last failure

I'm not sure i would even know how that feels. this is like my ninth or tenth attempt. I'm not even sure

about quitting

anyone have a ny sucess with one of these?

me too

NOPE

Before you actually managed to quit?I am on like six or seven, I'm not sure.

I know I am being tested

Nope

I am going to do something rebellious today and I'm NOT going to go buy a pack of cigarettes. It's what everyone's expecting, including me. So I'm going to do the opposite.

I wish I could come to this point, but I don't feel I've made a commitment with myself to quit smoking forever. I don't know why.

I haven't used the gum or inhaler at all this time. That means after three days I should be over the worst of the withdrawls I think. I am feeling good about this quit attempt. This might be the one.

I've hit the three day mark. Yay! I suppose I'm doing pretty good, I haven't been obsessing over cigarettes like I was last time. I guess I'm just too busy and stressed out to be obsessing over it. Lots of cravings, but not obsessing for hours at a time. Quite irritable yesterday. I feel less irritable this morning. I am quitting caffeine as well. Doctor's orders. So I will be drinking my last cup tomorrow morning. I had to cut down over several days. I have had insomnia the past three nights. it gets better each night. I got a little pissed yesterday morning as I woke up, when I realized I couldn't have a cigarette,and I said "goddammit!". I just have to remind myself I CAN if I want, I just choose not to. I CHOOSE NOT TO!!!!

Thanks I will try that

I'm now past the second day mark for this quit. I still have a good feeling about this time, like this is finally the time that I'll do it. I am pretty stressed out about other things that I'm dealing with. But I seem to be managing fairly well with out a cigarette.

Almost two days into this quit. I have a good feeling about this one. The good: heart palpitations have just about stopped, time seems to be going at a normal pace, not obsessing about smoking/cigarettes The bad: severe insomnia, I can only sleep for a few minutes to about a half an hour. very irritable, which is highly unusual, even for a quit attempt Thoughts: this seems like a horrible time to quit, with everything that is going on right now, with family and with health issues. On the other hand, there is never going to be an "ideal" time to quit. I'm always going to have something going on. With my oldest son here it helps out a lot.

why isn't my ticker working? Did I set it up wrong or something? It's not moving
