You are correct, the fogginess is a withdrawal symptom. Some people don't experience this although, I certainly did. As far as other symptoms, keep an open mind, you quit smoking and whatever discomfort you may feel, it is only temporary and you don't smoke ! I love your attitude, 'it is what it is', you are right and your statement, "I'll get through it as I feel there is no turning back" is the way forward. You are headed towards your freedom and it will be yours FOREVER to nurture and protect.

@Mona, I am so glad you are not lighting up. Your attitude is great. The patches continue to feed your addiction and prolong your 'fog'. This won't end until you are done with the patches and possibly for some time afterwards. Just something to be aware of and the downside to NRT's. They lengthen the healing process. @Mac#23 You blaze the trail for others every day. You're attitude is so great and your exuberance, contagious. @JH63, your posts are a catalyst for getting the information out there. I am so glad you are taking advantage and learning all you can. This quit of yours is growing leaps and bounds. I know there are lots of lurkers...I love lurkers. I was a lurker, quit and 10 months later joined to thank all these people. Stayed for the education and the laughs. It is a great community we have here. All of our newbies make it great. The energy, so beautiful. The power being re-claimed. The self-confidence emerging like wildfire.

This has only given me hilarious, long lasting and multitudes of belly laughs so far but, the night is young, ain't it ?. Reporting in with tmi. Liftoff was achieved. Must have been the preamble of laughter.

Great post, Kate. You are certainly on the front lines as a grocery clerk not only with the virus but with the level of idiocy feeding the general public, y'all are treated horribly. I am always, always respectful and kind and cheerful to the people that make life possible, try to be that way to everybody. These are trying times and I know all are under a lot of stress, time to show some extra love for our fellow humans! So glad you quit smoking, Kate. Don't borrow trouble thinking your going to be infected. Follow stringent protocol, it's all we can do. and be kind to yourself.

The confidence grows. At first, it looks like nothing is happening...and the focus is on minute by minute, one crave at a time but, soon...very soon you realize, 'hey, I quit smoking !' I loved the neuro-dynamics of this...how with each crave conquered, that individual brain receptor was changed back to it's original purpose sans nicotine. The biological magic is still intriguing to me. This link has some great videos embedded. How Nicotine Works

NOPE love

I was just going to recommend this and send a video to back me up. The stress involved with the anticipation of quitting can sometimes thwart your best intentions. You are dealing with a deadly addiction, so get your head in a good place, a positive place because living FREE is worth any temporary discomfort or re-adjustments you experience. Yay ! SO happy for you making one of the best decisions of your life.

What Habit Should I Replace It With Crutches To Quit Smoking You are always ABLE to quit smoking. It is simply your choice that you smoke. Choose differently. I quit on a whim, as a personal challenge to myself almost seven years ago and attribute my success to an education about addiction. I recommend taking deep breaths to get you through your craves. This is always available and serves to calm and replenish your brain/blood with oxygen.
