Glad to get in here but woke up feeling that panic feeling

[nsd_user663_4964]

I think it may be to do with the patch as I've had it before- and nightmares!

But I feel good- I don't get hardly any cravings with the patch and it makes it fairly easy for me. Determined this time.

Day 1 ( hopefully the last of many) was also pretty easy apart from the familiar feeling of being stugk in the fridge, and wanting that buzz from anything- drank a lotta coffee and ate a lot of chocolate.

Going to do it this time- been here too many times.

Going to go shopping, as that always cheers me up!

Hi Jude75,

I so hate that panicky feeling as soon as you open your eyes. It was so strong for me it was the reason for many a failed quit or not even starting to quit. I did manage to ride it through with the help of patches & am so glad to say I don't get them now.

The stupid thing was I found once I was up & made a cuppa etc it had gone.

it will go I promise. As for the food & drinking, thry to choose healthy options but if they don't hit the spot what the heck. Can sort all that out when you are good and ready

Good luck for today

Love Gaynor xx

Hi Jude - not being a know all but it may be interesting for you to know that when you quit the cigs you actually absorb over double the caffeine you would when you are smoking - so if you can choose some non caffeine drinks - i.e. not coffee and not tea instead some of the time you may find the feelings dispel slightly - as I say not interfering !! I found fruit teas a good substitute but they are not for everybody and replaced sugar with honey !!

Love it thanks bman.

Hobo, Had indeed been wondering about the caffiene thing as i do drink a lot of diet coke. Will try and cut it down again to see if makes a difference. But yeah the feeling is there before i even properly wake up if you know what i mean.

[nsd_user663_4887]

I sympathise !!! I ended up with Caffeine free diet coke on my first attempt at quitting !!!!!! How sad is that !! - I will be joining you again very soon in the fight believe me !!! - everybody has different problems it would seem ! - mine was the giddiness / wobbly head scenario but I am preparing myself for that one and am determined to eat little and often regularly through the day to stabilse the old blood sugar malarkey !! I did find I was drinking masses of water so that can only be a good thing - good luck - you can do this for sure you have already proved that - if we fall we go again - that is what's important - Peta

Do you take your patch off before u go sleep? I do .. it seems whenever i leave a patch on at night, i get bad dreams and keep waking up in the night too.

I did the same last night, left one on by mistake, and i was awake at about 4.45am this morning after some crazy dream.

i was busy telling people Id quit for 2 weeks in one of my dreams last night.

i did smile when i realised that this morning
