Working on day 2 of my quit and can't seem to concentrate on anything.  I've been sitting at work for the past couple hours and basically just staring at the ceiling...Just have to keep telling myself that it's my turn to win this fight!
Completely normal. I considered myself useless at home and at work for the first week. Basically because I was. But you must understand that the quit is number one right now. It will get better but for now, your quit comes first. everything else will just have to take care of itself. You owe it to yourself to be free. The other shit can take a back seat until you get a grip on this.

Basically I am giving you permission to make this quit your number one priority in your life right now. because that is what it will take.

Never again, for any reason.
Ready is right. Don't take this lightly or else you will allow some excuse to talk you into fingerbanging a can. This is serious, read around the sight, there's lots of posts by guys who took it too lightly. They either came back posting a day 1 or didn't come back at all. Put everything you got in this quit at this time. You can lighten up when you get some experience. But keep posting roll and keeping your word, you'll see things getting clearer real soon.

Welcome to the fog. I had it really bad the first few days. It gets better. Post Roll Call and keep your word. We are Quit with you. Let me know if I can help. Today I posted Roll Call and today I am Quit. (Day 13) Peace

Quit,

I remember how it felt back on Day 2. First and foremost you have to stick with this, you gave me your word. You're right, it is your time to win the battle. The only advice I can offer is if it is feasible maybe get up from your desk and walk around a bit. Maybe walk outside for a lap or two around the parking lot, that should get your mind to not focus on the withdrawal so much. Make sure you take in plenty of fluids, help you to flush a bit and if nothing else will cause you to have to get up and change your scenery once an hour. Whatever you have to do to stay quit. Worst thing for me was sitting at my desk dwelling on it. If you need anything PM me.
