Day Four

Hey Savvy! Good luck with your quit. My quit started last week but ended on Saturday....started again this Monday. I kinda knew I was gonna blow it the first week but I thought I'd just one of my failures out the way (is that STRANGE thinking or what). Anyway, last week was the beginning of my journey to quit for good, this Monday was my quit date. I know this is a learning process and each day without smoking is a step toward freedom. My partner quit for a year and started back again. I didn't even try once. This time I'm quitting and he's smoking (but he's taking it outside which makes it easier) I know he'll quit when he's ready. It takes all my energy just to focus on my quit right now. Good luck...sounds like you are working hard and doing great with your own quit!

Nicotine patches !@#$%

My patch instructions said to avoid heavy exercise which was a REAL problem because the gym is one of the best places to forget about coping. Someone told me to go ahead and go to the gym. I don't do any wild, heavy duty workouts but a short run, bike ride and some weights. I feel great and no sign of an overdose. I'm a little nervous about trying a cardio class though - don't want to fall flat on my face in front everyone so I think I'll save those for the morning before I put on the patch.

Sleep

I'm using the patch and heard it disturbs sleep but so far I'm not waking up at night. Some of my friends said they take if off before bed. As far as sleep goes, I am waking up early and I love it! I always had to drag my big butt outta bed.
