Hey stew, I remember you calling yourself a basket case in 2016 and having a hard time. The thing is each quit is different so what you experienced your last quit may be way different from this quit. As far as the headaches go I believe without a doubt its the quitting caffeine and not from quitting smoking. The brain fog on the other hand is and how long it lasts varies too. I seem to recall having it for about three weeks or so. Drinking juice or sweets seem to help and make sure you're drinking lots of water. That helps loosen the junk in our lungs to make it easier to cough out. You're doing great so keep it up We do have a curse it thread in our Off the Record forum : https://www.quittrain.com/topic/835-can-we-have-a-curse-it-threadwith-warnings-as-sometimes-i-just-wanna-ffffffffffff/

I feel ya Chris, it's a brutal disease for sure, xoxo. I quit for the same exact reason and almost four years after quitting suffered respiratory failure as you all know from something viral (Covid?) it's unknown......... My tip is don't wait until you have shortness of breath to quit. COPD is a chronic condition with no cure that worsens over time. You can slow the progression greatly simply by quitting smoking!

Hi @robin0212, yep its pretty common. I had it too. I just took an OTC sleep aid every few nights and it worked great at getting me back on my sleep schedule. Hang in there
