Oh Keadie, I hear ya!!!
Well, living with 2 youngsters is hard enough, let alone while we quit! On my 3rd day, I adopted that quote.

I will never take this out on anyone I love. I will walk away and I will only come back when I have gathered myself.

I naturally am a loud person, it must be the Italian in me....., but I know the difference between loud and yelling. So do my kids.
I have not yelled or taken this out on them yet. I do tell them that I need a "break" or a time-out, and I go away from them for a little bit to gather myself.
I played those mind tricks too. I'm pretty good at it!! I knew that since I've already done my share of yelling, and stressing out on the kids, that I wouldn't let the best thing that I am doing for myself get in the way.
I cherish my time with them now. My baby is turning 4 next week, and it really hit me hard. I spent 7.5 years in my garage smoking. Instead of being inside with my kids. Now they are growing up, and I cannot get that time back. I promise to cherish everyday with them and watch them, and play with them, and enjoy them.
My hair lady told me that when she got a crave, she would get a bottle of water and down it. It usually took the same amount of time. Someone else said that they went and brushed their teeth when they had a craving.
Adopt some healthy habits to do to replace your old ones. I personally love the toothbrush one. It's an immediate feeling. Hang in there! Do the mind tricks. You are doing great, keep it up!!
P.s.- I too took Xanax. It really did help. Talk to your doctor if you really think you are out of control.

Hi Lucky!!!
Boy, oh boy, I sure did relate to what you were saying. I had all of them.
They lasted somewhere in the 5-6 week range for me. However, I still experience a little bit here and there!! But it not bothersome anymore!
Anyhow, there was a member here, not that long ago, that had a severe case of the fog. Since it didn't lighten up, she went to the doctor, and found out she had an ear infection.
Point being, if you feel these symptoms are not quite right, it sure doesn't do any harm to get them checked out by the doctors!!
Thank you for listing the things that have helped you! The water and walking have helped me too!!
Congratulations on your 39 day mark today! Keep it up!
