I gave up snus on 8/29. I’m on day 18 without nicotine and my brain chemistry is still jacked all to hell. I have no focus, my sense of time is skewed, and all I want to do is sleep.
And that’s an improvement. Thank heaven I’ve moved beyond the stage that I like to call the “Wouldn’t It Be Nice To Strangle Something Beautiful and Watch It Die Stage.”
They say it can take up to six months for brain chemistry to normalize after quitting nicotine.
Wonderful.
Anyway, I usually find “fun facts” and other internet dribble a complete bore. But, perhaps owing to the altered brain chemistry aforementioned, I was very entertained by the gunk I have pasted below.
Worry not. My head will be back to normal soon and I’ll be posting interesting, original content once more. Wait a minute, I wasn’t normal before, so maybe I won’t be normal soon. But I’ll probably be back to what passes for normal on my cockeyed spectrum. I hope that’ll do.
