Give and get support around quitting
I am on my first quit day and I feel nauseous. What can I do to help relieve that? I hate to take Pepto this whole time
HI and Welcome to Ex’s...Ccarscadden
You are experiencing withdrawal symptoms...the minute you quit smoking...the body is trying to rid the toxic chemicals along with nicotine. I had nausea, headache, tears, ached, etc., all over...it is normal...drink plenty of water so you are not dehydrated and will also help rid the nicotine. If it is really bad, try some ginger ale...also, I found this post that is very informative from our Youngatheart/Nancy...https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/groups/best-of-ex/blog/2018/01/04/early-withdrawal-symptoms?sr=se...

Congratulations on your first day!
It takes the body time to adjust to doing without nicotine
Colleen gave you a good post to read
Water really is key as well as staying positive
If you're using a nicotine replacement, you could be getting too much.
I found that peppermint candies helped me. Later Vick’s nasal spray. Loypts if cold water and of course ginger ale. This to shall pass. Trust us. One hour at a time. The hours will turn into days,,,weeks,,,months. NOPE
How are you doing on your nausea? I was fine until about an hour ago and now it’s horrible and I’m on day 2/3.
Good on luck and stick it in! We’ve got this!
