Hey Andrew,

Hope you're having a better day today.  Sorry I didn't respond  sooner but have a bunch of things (not all good) going on in my life right now.  But I'm hoping things will get better soon.  

Just like xvaper says, it can really hit you out of the blue and happen at any time.  I really think I was about 14 months in when my last BIG crave hit.  I still get them from time to time but nothing like that first 14 months.  And again, just like at one month, you have to push through it.

I hope you can wean off those pouches soon.  It's tough I know, but trading one addiction for another is not the way to go.  You can do it though...we are all here for you!

Hey Cin

Thanks for the reply. it's nice knowing that there are people out there keeping an eye on me. 

Yea, the pouch consumption is a little compulsive. Between them and my caffeine intake I am sailing through the days, getting lots done in a hyperactive manner. That will be short lived because as X said I am not totally free until I get rid of the pouches. I hope to eliminate them soon. 

Coffee is another story. I drink it all day every day until I go to bed. I take a med that puts me down within 20 minutes and I stay asleep for the entire night. Go to the hot tub to relax at about 10p, up until midnight or 1. Up at 6 raring to go. 

My sister thinks that I am on another manic episode. Not true sis. I love having this energy and recognize the insane behavior that manic brings. I am quite sane. My neighbors think I am crazy when I do my morning walks dancing down the street.  

Oh well. Otherwise doing well. I trust this post finds you well and happy.

Your friend

Andrew

Oh wow, I love it - dancing in the street   - DAVID BOWIE MICK JAGGER style.  Good for you Andrew.  You have much to dance for so keep on.

Cheers!!

David Boie and Mick Jagger are not really my style. I am almost 70 and more relaxed than they are. I listen to contemporary jazz. It energizes my soul. I dance to music that is just as powerful but at a slower pace.

Good hearing from you Anne. I have always enjoyed your inciteful posts. 

Good day,

Andrew

Cheers Andrew, keep on dancin!!
