Protect your quit, Corey. You can power through. One hour, one minute. Every crave you deny is healing your neropathways. You can also say 'No' to family gatherings, if you need to but, often the 'dread' is worse than the reality. Hang in there. You are doing Great and already a valuable member of the board. Keep posting.

Yay Corey ! I am so glad you posted. In 72 hours, the nicotine will be completely out of your body. HERE is a thread about what helped all of us in the early days of our quits. You may feel gruesome, you may not. Stay aware of your blood sugar, it can be goofy in the first days, so keep juices or fruits handy. Sleep and go out walking your Dog. Animals are so happy you aren't smoking too ! Post a lot and read a lot here. Understanding your addiction is a key component for a successful quit. Did I mention, Post ? Post Post Post Post about everything and anything. We ALL know what cessation from nicotine feels like. You have started a wonderful adventure, Corey. Have FUN. Love, S

-6 hi Betsy

-4 Hi Doreen. How was dinner with son and progeny ?

Welcome Wineman and congratulations on your new and precious quit of six glorious days ! Please, learn all you can about Nicotine Addiction. This will help to ensure a successful quit. Watch all the vids. You might want to stay away from alcohol for a while....many of us did, just until we were stronger in our quit. Alcohol is a big factor in relapses. You're funny, I have never ever heard of "a tiny bit of vodka" ! :P Have Fun, Wineman, you are on a wonderful adventure. Great song btw about nicotine addiction, Wineman, 'Nicky' by Logic.

-2 hi Doreen How was your dinner out with your son ?

My daughter has Crone's and is a Foodie like me, poor thing still, she is managing really well. As with Hashimoto's, diet is very different (not really intuitive) and really important. Hope you get the dosage adjusted soon, that will make a Big difference.

-1 hi Boo. :D

-2 I'm waiting for the Maytag man....or Fridgidaire in this case.
