Today is my 3rd day and I feel confident... somewhat.

I’m on my 3rd day of being nicotine free and it feels good to say. The first two days, I didn’t know what to do with myself, and had a total of like 6 hours of sleep in those two days. Last night though, I had more sleep than I have since quitting and even took another nap today and getting this sleep feels so good! I got some relaxation stuff last night to help me through this, such as teas, decaf coffee (since i love coffee and don’t want to get rid of one addiction and still entertain another one), lavender bubble bath and epsom salt, and melatonin. I took melatonin last night and it helped a lot. I did wake up during the night once but I took another one and ended up falling back asleep. I’d say it helped me but I don’t want to become dependent on melatonin to sleep so i’m going to see if today I can sleep on my own. Wish me luck!

You sound great.  I think that if you need the melatonin, you should not worry about dependence.  I didn't have trouble sleeping but I had been seriously ill so that was ALL I wanted to do at first.  It really does get easier and three days is awesome.  One day at a time.

Congrats on your 3 days.   Sounds like you're off to a great start on your journey.

I agree with Ellen on both counts.  One, you are doing fantastic!  And two, don't sweat the melatonin or high-test coffee.  In fact, my doctor specifically told me not to try and quit caffeine while I was giving up nicotine.  (I wouldn't have even if she did tell me too ).

It’s gotten much better! On day 6 but I’m having some concerns as I write this which I posted a question about.

Look at you, you have gotten through your first week, is that right?  It IS going to be easier but there are going to be bad days as well as good days...just like when you smoked.  Hold onto your quit, you will never regret it.

Hugs
