April 25, 20215 yr I woke this morning and my pillow was drenched! (eww) I did not see any where else on the forums where this addressed. Is this really a thing with quitting? Has any one else had that happen after quitting?
April 25, 20215 yr Hi Dianne, everyone's quit is different, that didn't happen to me though. It could also be just a little fever you had through the night and not attributed to your quit. Congratulations on one week quit, you're doing great and done with hell week!😊

I finally found that if I left one leg out from under the covers my head did not sweat. seems my body needed another source to expel my body heat, especially in the first weeks / months of my quit.
