Day 2 Merging with Day 1???

[nsd_user663_42471]

Hi all,

Well halfway through Day2 and to be honest it still feels like Day 1 due to the severe lack of sleep last night. Had several nightmares, which undoubtably id down to the patches. Are there any tips or is something that must be battled through as it will get better with time?

:confused:

[nsd_user663_38091]

battle it is..... you're fighting the nicodemon.......plenty of water and fruit juices....and a strong mind......it will get easier but does take time......you can do this :0)

Hi don,

I am just a few hours behind you and I didn't sleep well either, and when I did I had nightmares too :rolleyes: I am on Champix, so it isn't the patches, everyone seems to dream a lot whatever method they use. I have quit before, so I know it does settle down after a while.

I can realte, my first 4 days melted together like one loooooonnnngggg day.

I started my quit with the patches and the nightmares/weird dreams were a bother for me. I took some herbal sleep medicine the first week, just to get some sleep. But Now at week 3 I'm sleeping very sound. Keep up the fight, it's worth it.

Not the first attempt at quitting , as I am sure many of us can say the same, however it is the first time being involved in such forums, makes me feel good that I can be of help to others, and also gives me a sense of responsibility to not let any of you guys down, or worse still myself. Off to get a pint of water.

Hey don,

Congratulations on your quit I am at the same stage as you, halfway through day 2 and also had some trouble sleeping but no nightmares (yet!).

I have attempted several quits before and can honestly say no two quits are the same for me. Last quit day 2 was a nightmare - full of rage and brain fog but today i seem to be fine (so far no visions of murdering my boss!)

Will hopefully see you all tomorrow in the day 3 room.

lol, not back in work until saturday so wait out for the murdering the boss thread. Today has been strange really, had a few cravings which I expect to have didn't expect to have the light headedness/dizzeness. Very tired also, put thatt down to lack of sleep last night though.

[nsd_user663_41137]

This is my first quit where I havent suffered the lightheadedness/dizziness and Im swearing its down to drinking heaps of fruit juice!!

And as a red head, i know I havent escaped the "rage" i usually experience, im sure its lurking around the corner of day 3.

[nsd_user663_42471]

Well, how I see it is that if I know that I will be experiencing bad times and things in the future you can sort of be prepared for it to a certain degree. However, I do agree that letting off steam can be of benefit, worst thing to do is keep it bottled up.

Tomorrow is a big test for me, the wife off work who is a smoker, and the dreaded day 3, not looking forward to it.:eek:

[nsd_user663_42471]

I will see how it goes this first week as I am working nights from Saturday. If I am waking during the day then its going to have to come off while I sleep. Should be interesting to say the least as my whole shift smoke.

[nsd_user663_42471]

That would be good, I know 2 of them have tried before, so who knows. I won't push it though as they must want to quit for themselves and no one else.

[nsd_user663_42471]

I have had that experience already as my wife smokes, so when she gets in from work, well lets just say its not a pleasant smell

[nsd_user663_42145]

Hi Don,

Just know you are leading with not smoking. I know, my Husband quit CT on new Years and I was a week behind him, I was so impressed watching him, but I can see now that I was not a help to him in this first week, as I was on the porch smoking and wondering why he was being so snappy.

Keep going.... you never know how strength falls on others because of yours.

[nsd_user663_42471]

Yeah I will keep plodding on, in fact talking to my wife today she was kinda flirting with the idea of quitting, saying that if she could be prescribed Champix she would do it. I of course encouraged this but could see the intrepidation in her eyes. I shall not bring the subject forward because I believe if you truely are going to quit then it has to be for yourself not because someone has been badgering you to do it.

[nsd_user663_25112]

:DI am also on day 2 19.50pm. I sleep quite well.

[nsd_user663_42471]

Good news, turn into work tonight and a colleague is on Day 1 of his quit, total suprise, but a great boost.:D:D

Didn't know he wanted to quit.
