Knackered but here

[nsd_user663_4785]

Well I'm still not sleeping, apart from on my feet...........my brain has stopped working, some would say it never has worked..........but I'm here, I've made it back to week 2

If I wasn't soooooooooooo tired I would do a celebration dance but I don't have the energy.

Yes Caz but your positive attitude means you will get there, and some other people could do with some of it. Well done Carol, you're a bloody tryer. David xxx

dont worry about the sleep thing - thats why god invented caffine!!

hang in there caz, your doing great

[nsd_user663_5034]

Good on you caz:D.....hope you get some shut eye soon......Kez.

Hey Caz well done to you.

Dont worry about the sleep thing, I hate sleeping too and love coffee

[nsd_user663_3728]

Hi Carol

Well done you back to week two again Big Hug coming your way

Sorry you're not sleeping but this will pass as you know keep it going this is the ONE

If you're desperate for sleep you could try Kalms or Nytol both are herbal and available over the counter and best of all none addictive but they do help with the sleeping

Doesn't matter if your brain has stopped working and you're to tired to dance

You're not smoking WAHEY that's what matters right now

Love

hi caz a huge well done on quit, you doing so good.

I too feel tired a lot still, like a draining feeling & when it comes to bedtimes its like PING, its not good, but it be worth it & you should be proud at what youre doing, anyway sleeping is boring

take lots of care & keep at it

[nsd_user663_4990]

Day 9.....

It's day 9....I'm very tired. Does anyone know how long this fatique usually lasts? Thank you.

[nsd_user663_3728]

Hi Darby

9 days well done you hope you're proud of yourself

Your body has to adjust to you not smoking and heal itself from the abuse you gave it while smoking but heal it will just try and be a little patient

No one can put a time to how long this tiredness will last as we're all different so are our quits but it will pass promise

I think it's at least partly that you have more oxygen in the blood and therefore getting to the brain which causes this but your body will agjust

Love

Double figures

Well I'm into my double figures today ..............day 10 yippee.

But the best thing of all was I actually slept for 5 hours last night I've had a wee dance to celebrate but just a wee one cos I still knackered.

But hey things are looking up and there is a wee light flickering at the end of the tunnel.

Maybe soon I might start feeling like Carol again

If I get a good night again tonight I'll make some cakes for everyone

Love Carol

You will get a good nights sleep, you will. It was lack of sleep that brought me to this forum in my third week, it was the support of others that made me stay

You'll get that sleep though and it will feel so nice waking up after the first clear 8 hours.

Can i ask though? are you using patches or anything that might be keeping you awake at night?

[nsd_user663_4453]

Well done Caz

Well done on getting to day 10 hun:D...Your doing good!

Looking forward to one of your lovely cakes

Hope you have a good nights sleep tonight

Hi Jase

Using the patches but taking them off about an hour before I go to bed.

[nsd_user663_4990]

Ok next question, when is your last 'caffeine' based drink before bed? close? or hours before?

Morning

Well I've made it to day 12

Yesterday was a bit tough but managable. Had some bad cravings but just told myself that I'm NOT going back to day 1 again so tough......and it worked

Decorating this weekend so that will keep me busy and out of trouble.......and I'll have nice clean nicotine free paintwork at the end of it........nice.

Glad you enjoyed the cakes Chrissie............I'll make you some more next week once I get this decorating out the way.

Hope everyone is doing ok.

Carol xx

[nsd_user663_4955]

Hiya Caz

Glad you still going strong. I've just been reading through all the posts, getting myself back up to speed with where everyone is and it doesn't seem 2 mins since you were at day 1 - time really does fly.

I love decorating so can't think of a better way to keep yourself busy.

The cake was lovely by the way and thanks for keeping it for me Chrissie.

Look forward to reading your posts in week 3.

[nsd_user663_4785]

Good morning

Yep I'm still here ..............living room all decorated and looking nice and clean. The paintwork is white!!!!!!!!!!! Haha and this time it will stay that colour instead of going yellow.

Had a bad weekend..........was a grumpy cow and fell out with hubby and the boys but feeling better today. Day 13 :eek: 2 weeks tomorrow.

Oh well now to put all the furniture back ...........that will keep me busy today

Hopefully the cravings wont be as bad today...........but if they are I'll just need to whip them with Marg's whip like I've been doing all weekend. Secretly I think they like the whip so I might change for something else.

Love Carol

[nsd_user663_3728]

Hi Carol

Sorry you had a rough weekend but glad you fell better today

Well done on 13 days that's great

I take it you've been decorating as well so you must have had some sleep

Glad you're also findinf the whip useful but if they like that to much you can borrow mt steel toecaps for a while instead OK

Hi Chrissie

Yep I got your date wrong and heay got an earful

Love to both

Marg xxxxxx

[nsd_user663_4785]

First off welcome to the forum Cathy, great on 13 days smokefree, also well done on resisting the temptations, I'm sure you wouldn't have felt very good about yourself if you had have caved. Health is a good reason to pack up, and, if your complexions better that's a bonus. David
