Almost 2 weeks quit
Hi folks. Pretty quiet round here so I thought I’d ramble on a bit.
I’ve worked hard on this quit - done my lists and homework, done my
ABC’s etc. The last few days have been some of the hardest days I’ve
had, and it’s been challenging to try and work out just what is going
on. Now that it’s settled down some, I can understand it a bit
better. Anyone else felt like this - a real irritation with life and
ppl, flaring up at the slightest thing. Even the cat runs to hide
when she sees me approaching. I wonder why it is that extreme
emotions like this trigger the ‘ geez I need SOMETHING to calm me
down and make me feel better’. I know the logical things to do to
deal with the physical angst and discomfort…. and I’ve done
them…. but at times it’s been massively hard to do.
The root of all this I think is my crap (am I allowed to say that?)
sleeping recently. I thought I could get by but obviously it’s been
creeping up on me, the cumulative effects of being overtired. When
I’m not thinking as clearly, I suppose I can see now why the flawed
thinking has been creeping in? Am I making any sense here?
Anyway, that’s where I’m up to…. I think the first thing I need to
do is do something about getting my sleep straightened out. I’ll try
one of the ‘over the counter’ remedies, and if that doesn’t work,
then yes, I’ll see my doctor - I think a general check up is probably
a good idea. Quitting can trigger off all sorts of changes
physiologically, I understand that. Some half decent sleep and I’m
sure I’ll deal with this much better.
See…. I do listen Pam 
thanks for the help this past few days.
thats me anyway. How’s everyone else doing?
