We Quit Cigarettes

[CarpCharacin]

My doctor gave me a prescription for ambien cr. Works wonders. Prescription for 7 pills......

I asked the doctor how am I supposed to decide which night I want to sleep? I quit even trying. 7 pills? Who does that? I'm a nurse, patients would come in and bring their bottles of pills with hundreds of pills in them.... I can have seven, "I'm your nurse, I haven't slept good in 20 years....."
Sorry, that was a rant.

It's unfortunate that they only gave a prescription for 7 pills, but I don't think Ambien is meant to be used long-term.

Good.
Don't.
Your brain is fine.
Mine...was talking to me today.
Thankfully it stopped.

I suffer from cerebral crippledom.

He's always telling me Squatch looks like dinner. He came over and was laughing so hard at my Cochins because they look like they have pants on. He would be an awful byc member. If he saw people let chickens live in their house we'd all be peeing ourselves reading his comments. He has not filter

I'm due for a filter change....

I have smoked for 25+ years. I've only tried once to quit and it just didn't work.

It's all mind games.
I was not a fan of yoga or mediation stuffs a few months ago.
I am becoming a real fan of just breathing...focusing on my breath. Sounds simple and silly but it helps.

I have an app called Whil. I have access to it from the Mex's work so I'm not sure what's available to the public but if you can get it get it.
I have caught myself opening the app to do a quick 3 minute breathing exercises numerous times today.

Doesn’t sound silly at all!!! That stuff really works. There’s studies and stuff on it haha meditation, mindfulness, all that stuff. Headspace is another great app too.

HA!
I laugh now but I wasn't laughing all day.

Today was bad but I don't think it can possibly get any worse than today.

Nope...I'm sure the first day is the absolute worst!! Now tomorrow you KNOW you can do it!! That's a great feeling to have!!

A bonus tip I've read is take your $5 a day you would usually spend on smokes...then after a month or however long you determine...go treat yourself!! Really adds up, and the visual of that money is a great motivator!!

Night lady We love ya no matter what!!

This is an excellent idea!! Might share it with my dad.

@Kiki, just found this video:

Just look what good you have done to your body today!

Gonna share this with him too.

GET IT!
They might have exercises for tea addicts.

How about shopaholics!?

Try not to work yourself up about it. Cross that bridge if you have to tomorrow.

They will be as bad as you expect them to be! Think positive! - And for real: Tomorrow morning open your window and smell the air outside. You will be pleasantly surprised.
That's what some ex-smokers told me.

Don't think of it like that. One day at a time.

X2!!! Think positive!!

Am I going to need to see a real head doctor?

If it would help!!

Oh I like books like that I read The China Study and it blew my mind

What’s that?

Oh, I know, that's another reason I found it interesting to only prescribe 7 pills.... I just resort to the same routine of "don't sleep, don't sleep don't sleep & then sleep all day". I think it's from too many years of 12 hour night shifts.

Haven't read through the entire thread to know if this has been mentioned, but if you ever decide to try vaping make very sure that you do your research and only buy products that do NOT contain vitamin E acetate in them ( a few don't; most do) because it can kill you.

We’re all pulling for you Kiki! You’re stronger than you know and you CAN do this

Personally I like the idea of wringing a few necks (chickens or quail, your choice), we’ve all had days like that.

Peppermint tea with a splash of whole milk has been helping me get to sleep...and wake up cause I gotta pee lol. I’d rather try that before pills

No thank you.
I would never try a vape.
People are dropping like flies on my news from these things.
