Summary Days 1-11

As promised, here is a summary of the my first 11 nicotine free days…

Days 1-3: These were the hell days. I’m surprised my wife did not kick me out of the house during this time. The nicotine withdrawal was just horrible. I still feel some of the effects of it today. Symptoms:

1. Severe Headaches

2. Aches and pains

3. Skin crawling feeling

4. Jitters

Days 4-11 This is where the fog set in. If you have ever been in a situation where you just felt disconnected from your body, you experienced what I call the fog. On days 4-9 the fog was constant and severe. It was hard to think clearly and make critical decisions. Combine that with the fact I was on call at work during the time made the week very interesting to say the least.

The brain also stated playing tricks on me during this time. Feelings of depression and hopelessness started to set in. One night I had myself convinced that I was a dead man walking. The leukoplakia in my mouth was actually cancer and I was a dead man. The truth is that whether I have have oral cancer or not has not been settled. A trip to the dentist and time will bear that fact out.

Remember Nicotine still Sucks!!!!
