25 Days

[worktowin]

An early congratulations on hitting your first milestone! You were "lucky" to have one of the extreme fogs (obvious Sarcasm) and pushed through it to a better place. Life keeps getting better with each day past 100. Thanks for bringing me along for the ride, you should be very proud today!

[worktowin]

I felt better this morning, but then I worked out and the fog came back in.  I knew exercise was bad....  :)

Hopefully one of these days very soon it will lift

Ha, You are doing it bro. You fight each day, then, one day, it won't be there.
Quit on

Sounds like the fog is breaking up a bit! Dude - it will leave. And it is Friday - so you have a few recovery days ahead.

Exercise really helped me push through the fog. Don't give up. You are making progress, you are getting there.

Let me know if I can help walk you though any fog, because I promise that you are getting closer to emerging to clear skies.

Never again.!

Blues - keep pushing forward! You've come this far... So you might as well go another day! That fog is miserable, no doubt! But after this many days it is starting to break up. You'll be out of that and on to a better life soon.

Hang tough... This battle is well worth it.

Glad to see your name on the dec roll. And you did it right! 

Welcome aboard tom!

Excellent. Posting roll is the key my friend. You post roll and keep your word all day,, that's how it's done.

Tom, try to post in this intro about your wins (good days ) as well as your miserable days (fog from hell.) One day soon you'll be glad you kept a record, as you'll never want to relive this. Keep pushing forward!!!

The mid 20s are a notoriusly tough time. You recognized it and you are here. That is taking ownership of your quit and slamming the door to addiction shut on that bitch's face.

READ all you can. Post Roll early, everyday, and honor your word all day. Repeat tomorrow.

Welcome blues  all the best to you. I see you've gotten all the best advice from the veterans already. Congrats on making it 25 days without this site! I don't think I would've gotten that far without the help on here.

[blues4402]

Thanks for the info guys! Hopefully it goes away in a day or two. I felt fine after 5 days, but then it came back a few days later. Anyway, thanks again!

Hello,  I quit chewing 25 days ago. I did it cold turkey. While most of the withdrawal symptoms have passed, I still feel like I am in a fog/daze all the time. I also get these mild headaches. It is very hard for me to concentrate at work. Any idea if/when this will pass?  Seem like it should be gone by now from what I have heard from other former chewers and what I have read online. Please help.
Thanks,

Tom

Welcome aboard! 25 days quit without the support of this website?!?!? You are a bad ass.

Here is the deal... this is so much easier to do with this community than it is by yourself. I went 16 days alone before finding this group. The support and community that you will get here is unlike anything that you can imagine. These people will move mountains to help you. Drop anything that is going on to support you in a time of need.

All that you need to do is go to December 2013 group and put your name on the Quitters list. That is your promise, for today, that you will not use nicotine of any sort. For today. And in exchange, the community will pour out support like crazy to help you. Tomorrow, wake up, and immediately (before you do anything else) get your name on that roll call. If you are a man of integrity, and you are, then you can do this. If you f up the roll call... welcome to the team. Everyone of us has. Someone will fix it, don't sweat it. Just get your name on that list.

Now, the fog...

Mine lasted a little over 30 days. It was one of the more extreme cases I've read about on this site. It was horrible. It stole my life. I lost a month of my life to a side effect of an addiction that I welcomed into my life for 25 years. I lost Christmas, I lost New Years. Gone. I made several big big decisions at work - no recollection of them at all.

That is the bad news. The good news is that - when the fog lifted, I felt a lot better. Everyone has a different story to tell, but I got angry when the fog lifted. Angry at tobacco. Angry at nicotine. Angry at myself for poisoning me for 25 years. Angry at throwing away almost 40K.

The fog will pass. It sucks like hell when you are in it. But, it will pass. Stay strong, and check your inbox. I'm sending you my contact information - reach out if I can help you along the way. But please - get your name on the December list. I cannot stress the importance of the accountability that you will have - it will pull you along in tough times. Congratulations on 25 days.

Some fine words ^^^ from a fine quitter. Remember this fog my friend. My advice would be to exercise, get moving. Get that blood circulating. Drink water until the city calls your house to tell you you've used to much, or you have to dig a new well,, whichever.

Your mind is going through a lot of changes. Believe it or not your brain is thanking you. It has wanted to heal for years. Every time you were done with your fix it began healing and then you would screw things up again with another fix, another, and another.

Now your brain is healing, it is getting the proper amount of oxygen and thanking you. Stay quit and you get to find out what being healed feels like and I can tell you it feels great. You will love your new free life. A life where you get to decide what you spend you money on. How late you stay up. What time you want to wake up.

As worktowin mentioned,, post roll and join us. We will help you. All we ask is you make that promise each day with us. Need some digits let me know.

The fog goes away?...whew......

lol...I can't remember how long mine lasted but it was intense and I was stupid. I bet it lasted about a month.

[Radman]

That's completely normal. I was in a fog for a couple months. SOme days I'd stare at my desk and computer for hours. I knew what needed to be done, but the dots just weren't connecting. Freaking weird, but it'll pass.

Fight through it, the life waiting on the other side is wonderful.
