Hi Jill, mmm. Had a rough day. I aim for a better one today!

Nope

Hi! Taking it one day at a time as well and following in your footsteps, just so you know. Congrats on this cold turky milestone. All will be better. Hang in!

Nope

Not yet, Paul! Too embarassed for messing up, I think. After all the effort many people put in that thread… mmm. You are right though. Thanks for reminding me. Tons of good advice and spirit in there!

Nope

I made it through the day. Thanks for your great advice and wisdom. I’m still a bit battered - but thats ok. Thanks again, glad I asked. I’ll be happy when this day is over

Im not even sure where to begin. But please, help . The fact that there were a bunch of men that once figured out how to make quitting smokers feel EXACTLY like this in order to make them relaps… is what pushes me throught right now. I need to make it through this day, step by step. Dont lose connection.

Little bit late, mmmm sorry. Sleep is slowly coming back, pfffew. Walks, meditation, trying not to be bothered by sleepless nights all that much. Its working out

Hi! Well, long story short, Im back. Day 22 and 1/4. Planning on making this my last ‘day 22 and 1/4 ever’. But now I sleep like crap. Remember this from before, and its driving me insane. Any tips, how to’s, reassurances about maintaining my sanity would be so much appreciated. Thanks!

Just had an appointment with my gp. She confirmed what I already feared: arthrosis in my hands, ankles and most likely knees. As a result of hypermobility. Been having joint pain/stiffness for over ten years, but I professionally ignored it, or thought it had to do with my mental health problems. So, uhm, yeah … have to make a plan for the long run (HA-HA but no) I guess. Got a referral for photos of both knees. Will be seeing a podiatrist. After that, gonna make a plan together with a medical physiotherapist to increase muscle strength but also to get to know my physical boundaries better and not lose myself in either pushing the limits, or exercise as little as possible. Balance, not really my thing. We also talked about quitting smoking and how disappointed I was after two weeks of non-smoking and pain because of excessive walking, while at the same time it felt so good mentally. Its sinking in that this will require a lifestyle change. Its a all bit overwhelming tbh. But I guess once thats over, this will help me figure out how I can start to take better care of my self.

@Cbdave Thanks for this post!
