Sorry, got here late and then had trouble getting in as my computer is so
slow. I am here now but everyone is gone. Sorry I missed you.

…may not have been a great idea. Been here an hour and haven’t seen a
soul. It’s 9AM US EST, I’ll be here another hrs or so, and then I’ll try to
get back later this afternoon…. close to 4 or 5.

I called those the ‘non specific restless crankies’. I knew I wanted
something. Felt like crawling out of my skin. Yet somehow I knew a
cigarette just wasn’t what I needed.
I think what I needed was to get further down the quit road. I needed
to listen to my body, stretch and breathe and stretch and breathe some
more. I needed to spend time working the quit. Some call it paying our
dues. I think it may be. It’s also just an uncomfortable stage of the quit.
Telling quitters that they need to be patient usually just pisses them
off. But that’s what it comes down to. As difficult as being patient is for
most of us, this ‘restless cranky I really really want something’ stage
does pass with time.
I’m afraid the only advise I can offer up at this stage is don’t feed
the ‘I want something’ feeling. It’s too easy to munch to excess. All it’ll
do is pack on poundage and you’ll still want something. Stretch, breathe,
go for yet another walk.
