1 more full day and then its a whole week! whoop whoop.

Found today really hard again, just those times when I am without my daughter and normally would sit and relax for a few minutes, Feel like I now have to keep busy busy at all times and tbh its exhausting!

On a positive note, didn't want to scream at as many people today so that's a good sign!!

Quick question.....

Does anyone suffer or has suffered from insomnia while giving up and if so how long it lasts?

I did for a week or so. Others I know have suffered longer.

I know what you mean about not stopping. Make sure you're drinking water as it's easy to get dehydrated.

Well done on the week (nearly):D

Insomia, yes, I remember it well, it's awful. Can't even give you a timescale as we're all different, but, I can promise you it will pass.

You're doing fab at almost a week quit:)

My sleep pattern was all over the place for the first few weeks. It took around a month for me before I began to sleep through the night again. It will pass Chloe, honestly. :)

Well done on hoving towards the end of week one. That is a fantastic achievement! :D

Well done on staying quit one week. I am sure all these discomforts will pass and we shall all feel great in a few more weeks

Well done!! I really struggle with sleep patterns when I first quit, usually lasts about a couple of weeks for me. I know what you mean about having to stay busy all the time, this was my downfall on my recent failure to stop. I was just so exhausted. Therefore I have decided not to do the 'running around like a headless chicken' bit right from the beginning of my quit. So hopefully I can get used to it.

Remember, you can't get used to not smoking in a situation unless you do it a few times. You can't run around forever, practice sitting down with a cuppa to watch corry (or whatever you like) it's only for half an hour and then build it up. It's greT to have a clean house (which I always do when I quit) but don't run yourself ragged xx ;)
