This quitting sucks. I am a 42 year old civil engineer, father of 3 young boys.   I am basically unable to function at work, hiding from my boss and ducking work.  The haze is so bad I am having a hard time even typing this post.  What a whiner and pissy baby I must sound like.  Bit my wifes head off last night and avoided my kids.  Father of the year!  Not sure how I am going to get through coaching little league practice tonight without making an ass of myself.   ahhhhh!
Most likely no one else will notice your fog and your former strong character will pull you along. Agree with keeping a low profile, don't initiate any major projects right just yet. Congratulations on a good decision and there was never a better time to do this than when you did!
Don't sound like a whiner to me. Sound like a man taking his life back. Sound like you're doing what it takes to break free from one of the most addictive drugs known to man.

For your sake, I hope its the most memorable 72 hours of your life. That way when the poison comes knocking again you'll put a bolt lock on the door. Hell I've put up a new steel door with bolt locks all the way up and down each side. Then i put 5 pit bulls (ktc brothers and sisters) on the inside. If the poison even wiggles one of them hinges them pit bulls start growling.

Screw the poison,,, I quit with you today.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Great choice, Woz!!! No way to sugar coat it...3 Days in is a bitch. But, when you find you're in Hell, the only thing to do is keep going. (I butchered that quote)

Things WILL get better. The fog WILL lift. Keep a good attitude...quitting is a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to do it. You GET TO feel this shitty because you CHOSE to be free. There are no short-cuts, and nobody can do this for you. But you took the first step...we've got your back the rest of the way.

YOU CAN DO THIS, BROTHER!!!
Best way to look at this quit is as a privilege! We have the gift of life today, to wake up and live free. I recently adopted this mentality and see this quit as a gift and I can tell you it makes it easier to walk through this struggle when you see it as a privilege!

You'll make it the same way we all made it...one second, one minute, one day at a time.

DON'T be taking you anger out on your wife, kids, or little leaguers.

They had nothing to do with you addiction and should feel NO brunt of your pain.

You get pissed, want to rip someones head of...go for a run, or go to the gym and pump some iron.

Want to tell someone to Fuck off and eat a goats dick....come here and tell me. I can take it.

It will get better, I promise. 3 tough days and it will get better each day. Man up, embrace the suck. 1 day at a time. Post your pledge each day not to use and stick to it.

Be honest with yourself and your family. Tell them what you are going through, it will strengthen your resolve and maybe cut you a little slack at home.

Hey man, here is the one thing I want you to hear right now! I HAVE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES! Listen to the guys on this site, in fact we have all been in your shoes. We know what you are feeling, seeing, thinking, experiencing. You are right in the fog. This is your body's reaction to your quit. It sucks, but it does get better - trust us.

The amazing thing about my quit is that the fog you are experiencing is the WORST part of it. But it fades away over time. Some folks experience this for just a few days, mine lasted quite a while longer - about a month.

PM me if you need to. Get on here and bitch, whine, complain. Write down in your intro what you are experiencing. Then, keep on quitting. In no time, you will be 50 days in and feeling like a champ!

Hang in there. Keep yourself busy. Just embrace the fog for what it is. I like to explain it like this: It is one long kick in the balls. The point is, just suck it up because it goes away. And, I hope that you never forget what it feels like because hey, do you want to get kicked in the balls?

I am here with you. I am 60 some days into my quit. Like I said, I have been in your shoes and I am right here with you. If I can do this, you sure as hell can too. I am proud to quit with you.
