Yes, now that I am more alert, clear of mind, and more agile, I am having dyslexic body movements. Aha!, the body is out of sync with my brain. This happened the last time I quit smoking back a few hundred years ago at just about 7 to 14 days.

 

Again, I am not complaining, just hoping I don't do something really stupid like back my car into my house when I am completely sober, Bahhaaahhha

Yeah, I can't tell if I'm coming or going either.    not sure it is freedom related though.  ha ha.

I am not sure if this is the same but my number one issue whn I first quit was my dizziness.  It was scary because I did not know it was related to my quit .  I remember almost falling down in Macys.  At the same time, my body and sense of touch was tingling or something.  I assume now that it was more blood and oxygen getting into my system. 

I don't remember having issues with my body movement but my mind was mush for a couple of months.  It was really bad, I could hardly work!  

Don't worry I'm like that all day, till 5 PM, if you should watch my typing sometimes and REALLY I'm no dyslectic kinda girl :P just kinda off after moving ;)
You go very good, don't doubt yourself YOU are doing this great!!! Be proud man!

(I dropped a plate ysterday too ;) so just saying ) 

Read an article where the author (who was recently quitting) referred to the feeling as electrified concrete.

Aside from the opinion that this would make an awesome band name...*  forget where I'm going with this; carry on.

I think you hit the nail on the head, MORE OXYGEN to the system than I am or have been used to. Have almost fell over dizzy about half a dozen times but the frequency of this is far less now that I am almost two weeks into my quit.

 

Thanks for the heads up:)

I found focus a really big issue, like foggy or fuzzy head, for ages! Drove me mad. But it sounds like it might be a body re-adjustment from what you say. I've just said it somewhere else but remember to hydrate properly. We miss a lot of cues as a smoker and one of the major causes for headaches or dizzy feeling is often thirsty. x
