Sleeping Issues

Hi Iam
Welcome to the SSC and congrats on 2 days smoke free (soon to be 3).
 
Yep, all quite normal.  You didn't mention whether you are using a quit aide of any kind.
If using the patch, this is definately normal.  I quit using the patch and had to take it off an hour before I went to bed.  If using a quit aid in pill form, these also cause a sleep disruption.  

Even so, quitting will disrupt sleep for some until the body and the brain chemicals get all sorted out.  All part of the recovery process I'm afraid.  Come here and read, and read some more and post away if you need.  Those from over the pond are up when we are sleeping (or supposed to be). 
 
Hang tough.  We hear you.

New Years Eve and the temptation

sfree
 
Whew!!! That was a close one.  Glad the real sfree stepped in to stop the drunk sfree.  Another lesson to be learned...Don't go outside with the smokers! - It's stinky anyways.

New---4 days smoke free...

Welcome to the SSC.  
Hell week can be tough, but if  just remember to take it 5 minutes at a time.
Those 5 minutes turn into hours, then days, then weeks, then months...till you get to around where I am where the last month blew by.  It's a process and it will get easier.
Believe in yourself.
