Why the same time?

[Tim2H]

I am having the cravings at the same time of day. I worked out in the yard today and did not have one craving. I think it might be because I am off to work in an hour. It is mental and I am starting to realize that.

[FLaddict]

Have you eaten??  Blood sugar drops can also cause cravings..  When I get them I have a small piece of choc or something.. helps alot..

[Tim2H]

I have not had anything to eat all day. I have no appetite at all and it is still a struggle to eat. I am doing ok, heh heh NOT

[Yoda99]

I believe both of you are right:  Tim, the biggest part of withdrawals is mental.    As long as you realize that and can work on maybe changing your habits, I think you'll be ok.  I know I always looked forward to the evenings when I took my evening jolt of oxys so when I quit, I still craved them at that time.  And like FLaddict said, sometimes a drop in blood sugar causes cravings.  When I haven't eaten in three hours, I can crave anything, not just food.  I'm sure there's a correlation.  "Just keep on a plugging".  You're doing a good job.

This is the hardest time of the day for me. I could care less about the pills in the morning. My doctor told me my iron was .5 or something like that. He gave me pills to take Monday and Friday. I took my first today and didn't get high, heh heh.

Thanks guys.  I didn't know about the cravings if you haven't had anything to eat.  I just did not feel like any food today.  I am going to force myself now though.

Soothmies are easy to get down and get some potassium pills.

I didn't have an appetite for a long time; in fact, I lost about ten pounds.  Nothing seemed to appeal to me.  Then I found that really cold chocolate milk, or really cold Slim Fast or even something like plain vanilla ice cream hit the spot!  You'll feel better if you get a little something in to your system every few hours.

I love smoothies and ice cream.  My stomach growled a little there.  I have strawberry ice cream here.  I am going to try a little of that.  Thanks you two.

Hug,

I find that "chunky monkey" helps me :) I am serious and not afraid to shout it out.

[Yoda99]

I love Chunky Monkey too and Chubby Hubby and Cherry Garcia!  Oh goodness, let's all scream for ice cream!!!  I've had a hard day :)

Dreyer's strawberry tastes incredible right now.  I am eating right out of the container.  It tastes soooo good.  You guys saved me!  

Bear hugging you two!

[Tim2H]

I love both and I like Gerry too, LOL. I am listening to Enya now at work. I am have to go out on the floor in an hour. I hope you are doing well tonight!!! You are such a support to me and I thank you.

(((((Yoday)))) why not let my feminine side shine through if there is any?

[Yoda99]

That's what my brother has said too.  :)

I think I need to go out and get some strawberry ice cream!

I better hurry, before it storms again!

[Tim2H]

Yoda and Huggy, thank you!!!

Love and hugs,
