Yeah a foggy mind is kinda par for the course. In my case once the fog started to lift I felt like superman with how my mental compacity just went off the charts in comparison to what it was. That being said I'm still not the same person I once was. I think there are certain things about me that either always where this way I just never new and drank to cope or got worse becuase of the drinking and will never get better. IE I can only handle so much stress anymore now and I buckle pretty easily. To combat it I try and keep my load light and easy since I cant just drink my brains out to ease the stress etc...
