I Win!
Today is 7 full days without any nicotine or placebo. Days 1 and 2 without nicotine were somewhat easy but my focus was off. I was in a fog for sure. Days 3 and 4 without nicotine were tough, no focus, no patience, I was not fun to be around! Day 5, it was even worse! I feared what was ahead but was slightly hopeful as everything I read stated that days 3-5 were the worst.
Day 6, I turned the corner and it was easier, almost calming. It has restored my faith in the internet that indeed, everything one reads online, is true! LOL
Day 7, wow, nothing. I mean nothing. I am me, I have my laser focus back while working and I'm happy. I believe the nicotine build-up is finally gone. Being that I broke the physical thing the last 7 or so weeks, I am declaring Victory!
