Congratulations Gordo! You’ve made the best possible decision you could make for your health and your life! The first few weeks are tough. No lie. Then comes the brain fog. Seems like it’s never gonna end. Then, one day...the fog lifts and you sit down to dinner one night and realize you haven’t even thought about a cigarette today! Its best rest to just look forward. Just focus on not smoking right now, today. Thinking about how long it’s been. How many hours/days/weeks whatever it’s been just plays tricks with your head. More than likely, you aren’t going insane. More likely just feeling “different” than when your brain was focused on your nicotine addiction. Be patient. It gets better, I promise.

Hey Doug...finding ways to distract you from cravings and urges is the key! Since your whole life used to revolve around smoking...have to retrain your brain to think of something else to fill those gaps! Read up on not only what did nicotine do to you when you were smoking, but also what quitting does to your brain and body. I found it invaluable to know what is going on, and why I'm feeling what I'm feeling.

Yeah, they don't call it "Hell Week" for nothin'! But for what it's worth...it's definitely the worst! Not that the next few weeks are fun and games, but the first week is a doozy! But you've made it! Keep looking forward, and fight off the urge for that "just one" you mentioned...it's a trap!
