Yup! These are the stories I love to see and we've been graced with a few. Not just people quitting this horrible addiction but actually transforming their lives at the same time. Frickin fantastic!

Nope!

Use the $$ you're saving from not buying cigarettes to reward your efforts in these early days and go get that massage! Perfect thing to do and it will lift your spirits too

These symptoms can last a while during the early days of your quit. Be patient with the process, it's a marathon not a sprint race. You WILL heal but it takes some time regardless of who your are or how long you smoked. People above have given you some good ideas of things to try to relieve some of the issues. Glad you have put the smokes down all together because that's what is required not only to break free from your addiction but as well to get through all these early quit symptoms you are experiencing. Now that you are not smoking at all, the true healing can begin

Welcome 8-Toe! I too had and hated the brain fog. Not sure mine lasted a whole month, at least not to a disabling degree. There were lots of annoying quit symptoms to endure but they all did go eventually. I have to think hard now to remember them and I'm sure my mind is downplaying how bad they were now but that's how this works. The crap feelings are temporary and they vanish as quickly as they came but the benefits you will see from quitting are with you forever. All you have to do is commit to NOPE every day

Ok - here we go ...! 1. I have AB Negative (the rarest) Blood Type. 2. I have never grown a beard. 3. My family has a history of producing twins (of which, I am not one).

When it gets to -40 degrees in Jan.-Feb., I ain't cracking anything open, especially windows so that's a False for me. TNP has had an operation in a hospital in the past 5 years.

Oops! I haven't checked in here for a long time As someone once said ..... I'm going to have to have a wee think on this

Get yourself something that will allow you to properly deal with idiot drivers in rush hour traffic.

I didn't think it would be possible for me to never smoke again the day I quit. Now, I don't think it would be possible for me to ever smoke again. Funny how your perspective changes once you make that commitment to change your life.

Glad to see you back. Slinking away with your head down would serve no purpose at all. Dwelling on a failed attempt also serves no purpose. Trying again with a lesson learned is the right thing to do and prepares you to deal with a similar situation in future.

What ever happened to the "work from home" a few days a week? I thought they were gonna try and help you out with the commute distance issue?
