I quit smoking last friday and I'm having major problems with my focus. Not only did my whole schedule get altered, but I feel like I have ADD now. I'm less focused and less alert. Anything I can do to combat this?

Nicorette. I don't know? It's like starting a new Diet. It's hard to focus at first but after you do it for awhile you get used to it...

The point trying to be made was will power. I'm wella ware that smoking and diet are different...but the same principles.
No, not at all. It's not a matter of will power with smoking. It's a matter of addiction to nicotine. You can't make that comparison. If you ever was addicted to smoking, you'd understand. All the willpower in the world won't overcome this addiction. Once you are a smoker, you are always a smoker.
Haha i know about addiction, this isnt my first barbequeu. My moms an alcoholic but she's been sober for more then a few years. And i can tell you, she didnt take pescription drugs or chew gum to get better.

For God sake please stop the bull shit,Iam glad your mom is sober but we are talking about smoking and the reason your mom drank was because of you (Dont know for sure wild guess)
Well, I'm bullimic. It's a mental AND physical addiction. Yes addiction, just like smoking. It's all i think about, my body craves it, it's absolutely the hardest thing to get over. but eh, I have been sober for some time myself. Again, not by taking pescriptions, hell, not even going to meetings. But sheer will power.
So if will power didnt work for me? well then what did? I'm really quite curious to know what else it could POSSIBLY be

Well it's day 3 and I'm feeling worse and worse lol. I don't want to put in any nicotine into my body, so all these crutches are out of question. I would go for a big multivitamin though...or a joint lol. Something..I couldn't even sleep last night. My life feels empty.
It's the same thing as smoking though. It's an addiction. She's just sucking on a bottle instead of a butt.
Whoopty Do. It's still an addiction. It's still your body telling you you NEED to do it
Oh please. You cant come up with the answer. I've provided more then one example of people overcoming addiction with will power and that only. And i kn ow more then one person who have gotten over smoking without a fucking patch. It's not that hard to do. and really, you guys are making it out to be way harder then it actually is. Yah it's hard at first, same with breaking every other habit. I know that.
oh but I'm a teenager, and i dont know jack shit about anything. so excuse me.

see your docter. don't do on the patch or the gum nicoteen is out of your body after 3 days. your body is clean of that shit and all the recptors in your brain are adjusting to this it will pass.
It will always be a work in progress. Just consider it a challenge. think of how proud of yourself you'll be if you overcome it.
Try smoking for 13 years and come back to me and tell me how "will power" was all you needed.
I doubt you've been making yourself throw up for 13 years.........It's a completely different type of addiction. Sure, some people can do it faster than others but with those that have anxiety and or social problems it takes a lot more to overcome because the nicotine settles these. Don't speak of what you don't know.
My mom was an alcoholic of rmore then 15 years.
Will power was all she needed.
I know this much
I know it was an abuse of a substance as well.
