[svandamme]

I found when i quit smoking a year and a half ago, that i did change in the way i work/think.

I used to be extremely good at multitasking and jumping around 10 different problems at a time.
No more. those days are over.

At first that gave me stress, but i've adjusted and now i just work different, i still pull the same load, but i have to focus more on something before i move on to the next.

And i have become more sloppy in my emails and writing, more spelling mistakes, or rewriting a text and then forgetting a word or a sentence.

It's more a fatigue thing, cause right now, i'm just up and i don't have the issue.


Either way, without nicotine, your brain is out of tune.
It will take some time to re-tune, be self aware, don't be to hard on yourself, find ways to take a break from time to time (you used to have smoke breaks, replace those with something else).. Make sure to not overload , find new ways to destress (exercise, new hobbies) and reward yourself now that nicotine no longer does..

It's all manageable, and well worth it to be free of cigarettes.
