Thanks everyone for your kind replies. I do love my job, the people I work with (well most of them), my regulars. My boss is amazing, the best boss I ever had honestly. It's just very stressful at times..... A lot of the time. Before when I got stressed I'd duck outside and smoke... Now I still will go outside and do some deep breathing, just not as often. I guess that's why I correlate it with quitting smoking. I do think the long hours have a lot to do with it but I am my families sole income, so I take what I can get. I am also trained not only as a server/bar tender, but can also cook as well as manage and close the place down (I requested to be trained in all areas when I was hired so I could help wherever I am needed). Its just the other types of people I mentioned we get and certain situations that get me stressed out. But thanks for letting me vent :) today's a new smoke free work day and I am feeling positive!

2..... Let's do this Doreen ..... Early morning sneak attack on the sticks!!!!

Thanks Doreen :) your kind words mean a lot...I am not a gum person at all, plus I feel its really tacky for a waitress to be chomping away at gum while working, but I do suck on hard candies, less noticeable and I can easily hide it when I need to take an order ect. I'm determined not to let my job ruin my quit but it is extremely trying at times.

My job can be rough. Especially when you are quitting smoking. We are a full service bar, but also a family restaurant. We share a parking lot with a cheaper motel, so we see a lot of drug activity, transients, ect. The city hospital is a few blocks away which brings in people who are not only physically sick, but also mentally. We are right by the fair grounds which usually has some sort of events show every weekend. At any given time my restaurant is full of a mix of little children, drunk people, crazy people, people who dine and dash, people using drugs in our bathrooms, people who just got released from jail ( city jail is about 10 blocks away) the list goes on. I find myself getting irritated and having the worst craves at work, and I cant come on here, so I usually go in the walk in freezer and scream, it helps. I rarely crave at home anymore, but am constantly craving at work. Any suggestions to help me crave less at work??? I am also very irritable at work and have a lot less patience. I am usually very patient and very nice and now I feel as though I'm a lot more short with people. Now its 2 am, I'm sitting here with my feet in my foot spa, eating ice cream and trying to wind down after an 11 hour shift. Got thru one more day without smoking and tomorrow at 2 pm it will be 3 weeks.

That is an adorable idea!!!! I will look into it.

I can't sleep. Not because I'm not tired or have insomnia. No... My job is pretty draining and I'm exhausted. But my little ones tooth just came out, so now I must wait for her to go to sleep so I can let the Tooth Fairy in.... And of course she's super excited... If it takes any longer Tooth Fairy might have to call her and tell her she sprained a wing and will come the following night...

I have always had a keen sense of smell, even when I smoked. But now since I quit, it's ten fold. And let me tell you its not always pleasant. People stink!! The worst smell by far is stale cigarette smoke covered by cheap perfume. Makes me gag every time. I smell burps and body odor. Hair spray and lotion. Coffee and garbage. Once I swear I even smelt a bees fart. Gasoline and burnt rubber. Rainbows and horse sh%t. It goes on and on. And yet I am very greatful for this new sense of smell. But good God you greasy hippie, take a freaking shower!! Oh and let me tell you first hand, being a bar tender, that alcohol induced gas is damned near toxic.
