"To fog my mind with pleasure" is a fancy of saying "To fill my mind with pleasant thoughts"; in this context it might even mean "to hallucinate." This sentence is saying: My mind was filled with so many pleasant thoughts that I forgot my father's warning.

Breaking the sentence down into its component parts would look something like this:

IT = subject
ALL = modifier of "it" ("it all" is a shorthand way to write "all of it")
SERVED = verb
TO FOG = infinitive modifier (of "served")
MY MIND = direct object (of "served to fog")
WITH PLEASURE = prepositional phrase
SO THAT = coordinating conjunction (links the 1st independent clause ["It all served to fog my mind..."] to the 2nd ["I forgot my father's repeated warning."])
I = subject of the 2nd independent clause
FORGOT = verb of my 2nd independent clause
MY FATHER'S ... WARNING = direct object
REPEATED = adjective modifying "warning"
