Okay, if I was in a fog or funk. I would have read, "worthless as tits on a bull" and just 'crackup'
Especially with that avatar because that's the voice I hear when I read NOLAQ posts.

My darkest days in this were overcome because theses smart bastards knew that if they could get just a grin out of me, I would make it another day. Smile, this is the road to recovery your just dicked up. 'na na'

Wow! What is my point? Look at all the quit Sherpas that show up tp help. You can't by this. Count me in if you need assistance. PM me if you ever need help or want my number. This site is amazing. You have stumbled upon a place you were meant to find. Glad you are here.

The fog will pass. And when it does you won't believe how clear everything will be. It is astounding. Keep posting first thing, and then be a man of your word. I don't remember Christmas 2012. Or New Years. And I am so glad... What a great way to end my 25 year affair with nicotine - with the bitch stealing some great memories and experiences. Makes me damn mad to think about it!!

Try to keep your goal to today. One day at a time will get you to the winners circle. You are doing great... Only those of us that have walked in similar shoes understand. And you have earned our respect. Keep it up.

Don't know if you were in the Military, or not but I was. Basic training with Drill Instructors was a kick in the balls. So is the fog - one long kick in the balls. But you know what? I made it through basic and I am making it through the fog - each day gets better! SUCK IT UP  DRIVE ON!

Keep going even if it is one minute at a time!

Here is the best part - the way I see it, going through this fog makes you part of a brotherhood of guys like me who dealt with it... just like brothers who went through the military together. We know something about ourselves, our resolve, will and ability to make it through the most shitty things life throws at us. And we do it all without dip!

You got this bro. I'm quitting with you.

Fog has subsided the last few hours since I decided to stop work for the day...my biggest trigger is my job because I work alone from my home and car....no co-workers or boss watching me so I USED to dip all the time while working. As soon as I step away from my computers or just stop working...I am less foggy and can think a bit more clearly. Good news...I have a 2 week vacation starting next Friday....so the job trigger will be gone for a bit. The advice I have received over the past few hours on this site has given me all the encouragement I need to quit tomorrow....and each day after, cause I sure as hell do not want to relive these past few days over and over again...I am done.

Like many others have said before me. Soak all of this "suck" up. Remember it and use it as motivation to never go back to a can. It does get better brother. Buckle up your seatbelt and ride this bitch out. You got this man. I am quit with you today.

Thanks Jayhawk. I have "stopped" before....but never remember the fog being this bad! I have been sitting at my desk since 8am...and have maybe done 2 hours worth of work.

I will not experience this again. I can't. It is too much to repeat.

No problems sleeping yet...going to bed earlier than before. But sleeping through the night(except when my 7 month old dauther cries cause she is lonely and wants comfort).

The fog seems to have decreased since this morning....but still damn near impossible to concentrate on anything. I have read hundreds of posts on here, but even that has been difficult. Eyes are heavy, slight head ache, tension in the jaw. Fake pouches are helping a bit to take the edge off.

How long did your fog last?

Not to get you down, but just to be straight up with you - I was as worthless as tits on a bull for the first couple hundred days.

My speach was dicked up.

My vision was dicked up.

My thought process was dicked up.

I mean worthless. Sleep sucked, work sucked, I sucked!

And then it got better.

A LOT fucking better.

You poisoned yourself for however many years man, the recover takes time. It's different for everyone; however, it is so very, very, very worth it!

It's better on our side, bro. Trust me, you WANT to be where we are standing, and you CAN do it!

Don't be weak.

Don't cave.

WW. Your getting there just try not to focus in how long till your better, truth is none of us can answer specifically how long you will be in this state of suck. It took Nolaq a few hundred days, as he states. I am almost 60 days and have shitty moments of fog still. My first two weeks I was stupid, I couldn't add two plus two bro. For some three or four days and their head clears up. Again focus on every day as an accomplishment and remember it is one day at a time. I am quitting with you.

What brother Nolaq said...X 100 :)

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.

Wolly, just think how big a Hero you are in the eye's of your little girls for suceeding in your Quit! Own your Quit and honor your word everyday!!
