I think I am slowly moving out of the lost fog I have been in since I quit. I have been trying to be patient and supportive with myself, which is a huge change from the all or nothing behavior of the past. I tend to push myself with anything new and then I just peter out after a couple weeks. Right now I am struggling with sleeping. Well falling asleep, then staying asleep. The first 4-5 hours are so difficult. I am use to laying my head down and falling straight to sleep in a matter of seconds. Now I struggle for hours, and when I finally do fall asleep I dream, which I have never done. It is exhausting and annoying. I usually finally fall asleep for the night about 2 hours before I get up for the day. I do not drink caffeine after noontime, but I think I am going to have to cut it out completely. I keep telling myself I will get through this. I know getting on the treadmill in the morning might help with falling asleep at night. I am getting closer, put on my sneakers this morning. Still didnt make it to the treadmill, but a step closer is a step closer! Wish me luck people.
