hi lissa, well i don't know the answer but yes i had that too! just for a short time around day 6 (or day 12 ignoring a 1 day blip :)) i began remembering things that made me emotional (mainly nice things thankfully!) and want to cry.

since nicotine takes over the reward system, by releasing dopamine, it probably messes around quite a bit with our emotions, a bit like it destroys our sense of smell and taste.

anyway, WOOHOO and congrats to you on getting to day 10, i think you are going to enjoy rediscovering the nicotine free you :) 5mol<er
