The terrible brain fog is over. That was harder than I remember it being before. I attribute that to the cold turkey vs. NRT quit. Good news is that I can actually poop without nicotine, wasnt sure how that was going to work out. Also survived PMS, wasnt sure if my husband was going to live through that one, so good news for him.

I think I go through most of my days without craving a cigarette, but when a craving does sneak up, it can be a bit rough for a minute. Again. For a minute. Seems brutal for that minute though. It'll pass, my issue has never been month one through three. My cravings are worse at month four. Which is when I go back. I don't know if the excitement wears off or you let go of all your survival tricks?? Dont know, so far so good though...

Healthcare worker, long term semi-closet smoker. I've quit a ton of times and do fine for 3-4 months and always go back. I accidentally quit cold Turkey this 2/28 with the flu and figured I'd try it. Other than MAJOR brain fog, I dont really have any cravings... need to get past 4 months so here to make friends with those that survived.
