Thanks again for the encouragement and support.  It is hard for me to think that I should be leading a new quitter through this with just 40 some days quit.  But, the more I think about it, especially the fog (as you and I really enjoyed) I need to encourage others - just like you did for me.

I still have more bouts with fog like symptoms than craves.  I still wake up in the middle of the night - not sure what that shit is all about.  I have had a couple of those really intense dreams - those are weird.

But still feeling better every day.  Back to running again, that really has helped me out I think. 

I mentioned to Wolly that the fog was just one long kick in the balls - seems the best way to describe it.  I think I'm using that in my sig. block.

Jay, I was just thinking today that it's so great there is always a fresh crop of people quit in their 20's, 30's, 40's and beyond. I'm not burnt out obviously, but I'm sure there will come times when I'm just too exhausted or temporarily cynical to help the new people. And when that happens, I think it will be the passion and excitement of those early in their quit and encouraging others that will help inspire me to throw in my support again.

Don't underestimate the value of what you are bringing to the table today.

Take what you need. Leave the rest.

You guys are rocking this.

Jay

You are just as important as a vet. A vet can give perspective and offer a certain wisdom that comes with time.

What you offer is priceless. A perspective of someone who is living it and making it to the other side. Damn, keep up the good work.

Still rocking it! Back from vacation - the first nic free vacation in god knows how long! The fog is past - and jawhawk the sky is so clear! Congratulations on navigating a path that takes courage, endurance, and humility to succeed. I look forward to quitting with you again tomorrow, one day at a time. Congratulations!

Man, I feel you.  I am recently through the fog and I promise, it does get better!  You got this.  The best advice out there is just to embrace it.  Make it an experience that you owned.

My fog was just like you described - can't concentrate - especially at work.  It was damn near impossible just to write an e-mail correctly.  Don't worry, it will pass.  You will be through it in no time.

Another pleasant part of the fog is sleeplessness.  I still fight a little bit with this even after 40 days quit.  Mine was so acute, I woke up at 2:00 and 4:00 am, every day, on the dot... you can set your watch by it.  My mind was messing with me all the time.

But, somewhere as the days added up, the fog cleared up.  The cravings really subsided and life got much better.

You got this... trust me, if I can make it through the fog - you can to.  Just embrace the ride - don't forget how much it sucks and remember there are a bunch of people walking in your shoes right now.  There are a bunch more who have been there. 

This site has really been a big help to me.  Stay on it - YOU GOT THIS NAILED MAN.

I CAN'T USE THIS SITE WORTH A DAMN! This was supposed to be a post on Wolly's intro.

Sounds like you're still in a fog. 'Crazy'

Since I thought you started another thread I combine it with your old one.

That fog is a bitch. You and I had an acute case I think. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. It sucked so bad... There is no way I would ever want to relive that. I know it was a bitch for you too... It is such a relief to know that I won't ever have to relive that. Just post my promise every day and be glad the fog is gone! Nice work jayhawk.

You probably educated your doc too with you visit - a lot don't ask about smokeless or have a clue since they're trained about the dangers of smoking specifically.

Congrats on the clean bill of health!

Is it bad that I can't remember exactly how many days I have been quit? Not sure - without counting them up - if it is 27, 28, or 29.

If you know the date you stopped using nicotine in any form, just go H E R E and scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see a quit calculator. Just input the date you quit and it will calculate the days.

Welcome. Yell if you need anything.

Don't feel bad Brother. Remembering what quit day your on is nothing, remembering that you posted roll this a.m. is everything. :D
Hell, I can't remember what day I'm on to save my life...unless I look it up and count. 'bang head'
Keeping posting and keeping your word every early a.m. and your quit daze will stack up quicker than you every believed possible....Nothing but better daze ahead for YOU...I promise YOU!!
Quit On Jay.
