Having just quit recently,  I find this very interesting.

I quit 6 weeks ago using Chantix (and a 2 day set of flights from India to US to start my cold turkey with)

I am definitely less focused.  Enough to start looking for ADD info again and contemplating going back on meds.

It’s been 10 years since I first and last tried ADD meds.  Concerta.

I know it helped, but I was irritable.

Looks like I am getting off topic. ( I love that, on this site, I do not have to go back and erase and retype half of my post)  😉

Anyway,  I didn’t quit due to fear of loosing the focusing aid I believed came with my cigarette use.

I finally quit due to breathing issues.

The wheezing is gone, and so is my focus.

I agree with JimC.s’s list.

I went from drafting to machine design; machinist; Machine builder; Die Maker; machine controls designer.

Back to Special Machine design as a CAD operator.  (This is where I did most of my Computer fixing)

I left all of them due to boredom.

 

Then, as I felt our design group was going to dissolve, I switched over to IT.

I have been doing it for 18 years now and am always stimulated.

My biggest problem with it is that now I am the IT Manager. paperwork ;-(

In the back of my mind, I said to myself, “Can’t you hire a clerical person to be manager, and I can be senior IT Guy?”
