General Discussion - 2010

[buccee]

Just wanted to introduce myself, I have been quit for 194 days and have had the support from qssn.org throughout. But I still have the cravings and believe that the more support I have, the more support I give, the better, in fighting off that nic bitch. The HOF speeches on this site have also kept me quit and I thank those who have been running it tremendously. Rob

Don't know if this is a good place to post this or not.
I am quite sure now that I have ben quit over 100 days that I have adult ADD.  I cannot focus on a task for too long, have trouble completeing tasks, put off doing long tasks ect.....  When I dipped I would just load up a fatty and go to it.  Now I cant do that and it is starting to bother me.
Has there been anyone in the past with this problem, maybe someone could point me to a post to read.
I fugure it still may be some dip fog so I am not too worried yet.  It is just pissing me off.

Thanks

I don't have a "cure" for you, but I can tell you that you're not the only one to experience this "fog" WELL into your quit. In fact I went through foggy periods well past a year. Certainly nothing like the initial fog of quitting, but a day or two here and there where I just couldn't get shit done. All I can tell you is that the periods between the fogs have been getting further and further and the fog itself will eventually become a non issue.

I always told myself to "go back to basics" when I was dealing with it... water, post, etc.

Hang in there dude!

Never thought the day would come when I was ready to give up "my friend" in my pocket. "my friend" has been with me since I was in school and I'm 43 now. My fiance reminded me that I promised to quit before we get married in May 2010. Well time is just about up. Sure hope she is prepared for the Monster.

Congrats on the best decision of your life. (I would say getting married is number one but that would be just silly). Your little friend is no friend at all. That's what we call the Nic Bitch wispering in your ear that she is on your side and that you NEED her to function as a human. I'll tell you right now man, she's a lying, back-stabbing, no-good, rotten, whore that has her hooks in you pretty deep. If you haven't already, post up in the July Group your promise not to dip today. That's all we ask. Today! We worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. You'll get tons of support to get you through the fog and rage of quitting this cancer causing addiction. If you need a number, give me PM and I'll do what I can to help you through. I'd say good luck, but luck has nothing to do with it.

sounds like to me he's already married to the nic bitch.... Throw her to the curb, she only steals form you!

In a way, I am glad to read this at Day 54. I thought I was abnormal. I have noticed two things since I quit - (i) many more people have magically turned into dumbasses (I don't suffer fools easily) and (ii) more concerning, I can't seem to get anything done.

There are periods of clarity between the fog, and I guess these periods of clarity seem to be getting more frequent.

I dipped for 22 years, so maybe it will take a year or two to feel normal and regain my focus. I'll trade a year or two lost in space for good cardiovascular health and lower odds of cancer.

Yeah, I'm only on day 37, so I'm just probably rightly still a little foggy, but motivation and concentration levels are definitely my most significant problems right now. I need to move homes in a month and have a lot to do, but my ability to stay on task and not procrastinate is not good compared to normal. I managed to buckle down and get some stuff done last night, but I have to really force it right now. I'll just keep on plugging away at this as long as it takes. It's WELL worth it.

Hey Twinsfan, Tigersfan here...like I was saying, I have TMJ so that could be it....but yeah! most definitely, everytime I have quit unsuccessfully, usually after a couple days my jaw starts mildly throbbing, it's kinda freaky...

I am going to the doctor's here in 2 hrs. I'll bring that up to him when i talk to him.

Hey Tigerfan, (I'll let that slide for now...) Yea it worries me and I'm planning on seeing a doctor once my health insurance gets changed. It keeps getting worse each time I try to quit...

Ahh... why not make this the LAST time you quit ;) Then you've got TWO problems out of the way!!!

Touche,

This is the LAST time I quit!
