Diarrhoea in the first few days of my quit...is this common...I'd this normal?

NOPE...

Is Diarrhea a symptom of nicotine withdrawal ??

I think I am in a completely different location of the world than most people on here. When I have woken up, everyone else is heading to bed :)

Thank you. Reading it did help. It is officially day two for me. Yes my body and mind has been thrown into temporary dissaray. Detoxing & getting rid of nicotine from my system, cold turkey after over 40 years of smoking. It's huge for me & in these first five days, I can't help but have it all totally consume me. I am telling myself that the way I feel is only temporary & present feelings will pass. But for now, I am being gentle on myself, continuing detoxing, resting & staying away from stressful situations until I feel stronger. I also suffer from panic attacks from time to time. My thoughts are scattered, concentration level is low. Feeling cranky...it will all pass & I will not have another smoke

Back to square one or not...I haven't had another cigarette since the 'one' yesterday morning. I feel I am still on my quit. I want to keep going and I am really feeling the pangs of withdrawal now

Thank you :) I am still on my quit. Feeling the pangs of withdrawal :(

Oh really feeling the pangs of withdrawal today

N O P E

I busted this morning & had only one cigarette. It made me feel sooo dizzy!! Confirmed just how powerful this stuff is that i am putting into body! I felt rotten for having one. I dont want this to happen again. I have not had one since...I don't want to...I want success this time. The weather is lousy today. Cold windy rainy and will be tomorrow too. So I've cozied myself up in my unit for a couple of days and pampering myself. Burning in my little vapouriser, pure lavender oil. Doing 'dry skin brushing' and drinking fresh ginger teas, lots of water...all helps to detox & get rid of nicotine. Also using my circulation booster. Lots of gum too. I can feel the pangs of withdrawal

Thank you. I am very grateful that I found this site and met all of these wonderful wise people :)

Feeling stressed and like I'm about to lose my friend :( I have smoked over 40 years and its a huge change

Hi I'm Lyn. I have smoked since age of 15. I am now 59 and live alone. Until today I smoked about 30 a day. I have used smoking as a form of comfort, coping mechanism, stress relief and for loneliness. There has been much stress and grief in my life. I want to turn all of the above around and not rely on smoking for anything anymore. It is affecting my health and the cost is making my life even more difficult. I have tried stopping 3 times and find it soooo hard to do. I am extremely concerned about putting on weight. Am only 152cm tall and don't want to look like a big round beach ball :) Please help with any suggestions and hints...

This is a great hint :) thanks

Cannot have tobacco in the home. I just flushed the rest of it down the toilet :) Cannot be around smokers, not because the smell repluses me, but because I like it & I want one...I need all the help I can get!!

Hi, am also only a few hours into non smoking day. Struggling....
