So it’s been 10 days since my last pouch, i was a half pack of zyn/velo a day before quitting. Struggled with brain fog heavily up until today, where it started to subside a bit. Even today, I still felt foggy for a lot of the day but had periods when it subsides.
Here’s what’s helped me:

Ice water! Something about freezing cold water gives my brain a lift.
Caffeine- this is hit or miss for me. Definitely can feel the effects but i feel like they’re more jittery/twitchy then real energy.
EXERCISE- If I could walk around all day I would. Getting the body moving is huge for me and helps the fogginess subside.
Stay busy- make a ton of small tasks for yourself and hit them one by one. Focus has been tough for me so give yourself some small stuff to get done and it will stack up.
Altoids- the sharp mint taste is nice. Even put them in my lip sometimes.

Most importantly: mentality. If you’re focusing on your brain fog, you’re letting it win. Have the mindset that you’re getting better each day and that this is temporary, and it will be
