1 day down!!!

[Benjamin23]

Hey everybody, I hope you're all well. So I successfully made it through day 1 without smoking, something that took me Ssssooooo long to overcome. I don't expect the next few days or weeks to be easy but I'm so encouraged and inspired by reading from all those who have quit.

So I guess this is just a post to say thank you to ALL who share their highs and their lows in their unique experiences. Genuinely love you ALL and hope we can all overcome the addiction 🙏🏾

In other news, I only had but 2 hours sleep! Still feel tired but my body won't let me sleep. Any tips or is this something I must go through?

Kind Regards xx

Hi Benjamin Well done!! You're on your way now.👏

Insomnia is quite a common withdrawal symptom, if you read the pinned 📌posts you will find some tips there.

Just click where it says posts, then click where it says pinned posts.

I don't work so I managed 40 winks in the afternoon.

You can do this.💪🚭xx

It truly does warm my heart and makes me feel that people are rooting for me. The forum is absolutely AMAZING. I will definitely check out the pinned post so thank you and I laughed out loud at the 40 winks!! A lot better than nothing!! Enjoy and talk soon!

Hi Benjamin, Its very common not being able to sleep, when you first quit. There is no easy solution. I find that if you dont fight it and lay there wide awake 👀its better to get back up and do something. eventually you do need a sleep. It does pass and you will get back to a normal sleep pattern. xxx
