So here it is 2 weeks down. Can not say it is any easier but feel stronger every time I post. One of the weird things happening is I love football. I could watch it 24/7. But now that I have quit I can not sit still to watch. Does this get better in time? Will i be able to sit and watch a whole game in time? Just asking.
This will get better. Like everything else, give it time.
One thing that I found out is that I have adult ADD and I had been self medicating myself with nicotine. Other guys here have had the same and have been prescribed medication. I told myself I would give it to day 100 then day 200 before I got serious about getting medication. I am doing fine right now with it at day 362. Laying off the booze helps too.
I have not had any booze since I quit. Do not trust myself yet with the booze. Hope I do not have ADD. They already think I am crazy at work and in the platoon. I will watch that though thanks.
I have had the exact same problem. I think it is two issues with me.
1. I was just used to watching football with a dip in my mouth. That was one of my triggers. So I'm trying to re-learn watching football without that dip. I think that part will take a while.
2. I have noticed that I can't sit still as much for things. I think this is part of just my brain re-learning to think without nicotine. I read this somewhere: It is like a car running on pure fuel now as opposed to running on the dirty crap. My brain is now running without the nic crap and it can actually function at full speed now, so concentrating and focus takes time to be re-learned.
It will get better. I am at day 31 and I have already seen some improvement. Still sucks, but not as much.
