The others have summed it up pretty well.  Hang in there and I promise you it will get better. 

Day 2 sucked.  Day 3 sucked.  After that, the suckiness gradually (VERY gradually) began to subside.  Learn to contol it.  Like that leg fidgeting around that you mentioned.  I went through that same stuff.  It's kind of funny if you really think about it.  I'd just stare at my dancing feet and say out loud: "Well, would you look at THAT shit! It's gonna take more than that to break me!!".  Coworkers would ask if I was nuts.  I kinda got a chuckle out of it because they were clueless. 

Other days, I'd sit at my desk just staring at my dual monitors.  It's hard to explain.  I knew I needed to be doing something, but I wasn't.  Wasnt reading anything.  Just sat there staring.  Screen saver would eventually pop up and scare the shit out of me.  That was what the "fog" meant to me.  Almost like being on some kind of narcotic.

Hang in there and it'll get better.
Vivid description, Radman. I get contact-fog just reading it.

After you post roll, continue to click around on all the other quit groups...not just your group, not just 2013, but the other years too. There are tons of bad-ass quitters who are doing one day at a time...whether Day 1 or 1000. And every last one of them had to go through what you're going through right now.

My personal experience was that it helped me to see how many other folks had been through what I was going though and came out on the other side.

It will get better. One day at a time. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Remember, looking back on this time, that you felt terrible not because you quit but because you used nicotine.

One day, soon, you won't feel so awful. That's when you really need to work at it. That's when you'll start seeing people cave.

Your biggest obstacle to staying quit is not the suck. The suck keeps most people quit. It's when you first start feeling better that you're most likely to cave.

Brace yourself against complacency.

Take a deep breath.

You have 3-7 days of this.

Your body thinks it "needs" the drug because you are physically dependent on it. This is called the "suck" because it sucks.

But, guess what?

This is the absolute worst it will be. EVER.

You only have to go through this once, and then THINGS GET BETTER. WAY BETTER.

You will smile again.

Drink lots of water. It moves the poison through your body. Try to avoid or limit caffeine altogether. You're jittery enough. If you don't walk/run...do it. Work out. Nothing kills a crave faster than 25 prison pushups. You've heard "If you can dodge a wrench...you can dodge a ball!". Well, if you can't breathe...you can't crave.

You can do this.

Day 2 left me punch drunk in tears.
