Glutamine-incredible stuff!
Yesā¦L-glutamine has amazing benefits. Iāll be doing maca root powder starting this weekend to help with energy levels. Itās 6:30 pm and I still have 5 cigarettes left. I bought some blow pops and tootsie roll pops today to fill in the gaps.

@Melrm, My goal is being able to get up out of bed every day. And to not be a whiner and complainer, to be grateful for being sober and able to breathe and to swallow without my heart stopping just simple things that everybody else takes for granted.
I am very sick with an autoimmune disease that leaves me in a lot of pain. I also have a cranial nerve disorder with my tenth cranial nerve, which is your tenth cranial nerve, which is your vagal nerve which I have a pacemaker for, everytime I swallow food my heart stops for up to 22 seconds. I suffer from severe migraines for up to 13 days a month. I sleep probably about 92 hours every 5 days, not because I wanting, believe me I wish I had control of that but I donāt. Iam unable to function like most people. Because of the autoimmune disease, Iām on a very special diet itās called AIP it very strict. Iām not able to eat anything that has gluten, eggs, dairy, nuts, beans, seed or anything with seed in it, or any animal that has eaten any of these things. So see I am a good example of what alcohol and drugs can do to someone.
So see thatās why I get so upset when people say I canāt stop! I have no control thereās a lot of things in life Iāve had to give up. In order to just live. And believe me Iām not complaining its just a fact of life. You have to believe and know when God puts you in bed and give you a heart rate of 30 beats a minute. And you literally see the angels standing and feel them sitting on your bed,they are there and waiting for you to die.
Your life changes and you know you can do anything when youāre ready for death you can change your life. Iām sorry for ramblingā¦ anyway howād you do that how to get me to open up like that SMH.

None for me today and itās lunch time. Iām anxious about my relationship, had a few cravings but resisting with my nicotine substitute. I want to stop it too but at least no cigarettes.
What other goal are you referring to, if you donāt mind me asking? I donāt understand the relationship part.
My goals, staying sober, stopping smoking, seeking forgiveness from my partner for my behaviour.

We can do this @Melrm and everyone else!!!
Day 3- 8 cigs
Well, I woke up in the middle of the night and was craving hard, so I started the morning off with 7 cigs. I delayed my first cig as long as possible and then only smoked half. I wrote in my journal for awhile and played the game I play on my phone , which will be my next addiction to kick because it sucks time away, but for right now itās helpful. Just had a whole cig, so now Iām down to 5 and a half. I need two for my drive to and from work, then the rest for when I get home. Gotta just stay busy and distract myself. Also, need to pack many snacks and lollipops for work. Iām feeling confident, but I know the hard part hasnāt started yet. But like I said, we can do this!

@Melrm, I got the perfect solution for rashing the cigarettes, is easy cut them in half, 
take the filter and take super glueā:droplet: them to the ends. That way you wonāt have to worry about having enough cigarettesā:skull_and_crossbones:
that way they will last you. Problem solvedā:clown_face:
next problem?
So now Iām feeling like a cigarette. Should I cut down rather than cold turkey?
Iād punch someone in the f#&!ING throat right now if I went cold turkey. Iāve had 3 so far
