Wow! Sleep's back!

[cpk]

Wow! Had a normal night's sleep. I went to sleep and slept and woke

up early without alarm, feeling great. No weird dreams. Just normal

restful sleep. Everyone here keeps saying it gets better...and it's the truth! :rolleyes:

[Tink]

excellent news, it feels great doesnt it when that first deep sleep comes back :)

After 2 years... it is still getting better.

 

Congrats on your new life.

Sleep, smell, good skin, great hair, brighter eyes. Why did we smoke again?!

[SanDar]

Ahhhh..I'm so happy for you!  

That was tough for me as well. Seemed like it took forever to get the sleep pattern back.

Once I did, it was smooth sailing :)

So many positive things that we never thought about until we quit.  I don't think we realized to the full extent of our suffering until we quit smoking.

Eons ago when working on health/fitness (as a smoker mind you :wacko: ), we had NSVs (non-scale victories) to indicate the benefits we were experiencing beyond a number on a scale.  I'm still having NSVs but now they're non-smoking victories.  Today's NSV was smelling the fabric softener on a workout shirt that had been sitting in a drawer for who knows how long.  Pulled it on and thought whoa..smells good.  Seems the old sniffer is waking up more and more each day.

So right, MQ. I was insane when I came on this site -- insane with the pain of smoking damage -- and insane with the pain of going through the quit's early stages. People are saying cuz I'm a month in the worst is behind me. And I hope so because it was really a hellish month...the worst quit I have EVER experienced -- physically and mentally. I am so glad to be where I am right here, right now. So deeply grateful -- and so thankful to all here.

I like the nodes of counting you NSVs, thanks for the technique run free.
