Context been smoking for 16 years off and on mainly on mainly using tobacco (blunt wraps, leafs, smoked black & milds etc). I’m a week free from tobacco & I feel like I’m having nicotine withdrawals but I’m also feeling like I’m prolonging certain healing due to weed smoking . Certain things I only feel when I smoke tobacco, leg cramps , knee pain , back pain, circulation issues. And while it’s slowly improving I feel as though it might be prolonged by me still smoking weed. I’m wondering can I still get nicotine out of my system or ultimately to feel the full affect of healing do I have to quit all together?

Experiencing pelvic pressure and a lower urination output than usual. Not too much pain or spasms per se but as someone who has had kidney stones I’ve seen stories about stones being lodged in urinary tract causing weak streams in this group chat !Ive also seen where it leads to Sepsis & that’s my ultimate fear when it comes to stones. The surgery was bad enough can’t imagine sepsis .When I had my stone it was 7mm & truly only caused pain during my trip to ER but I’m definitely not trying to wait until that type of pain comes about to see what’s causing this pressure. Today’s my 2nd day feeling this I’ve also been very constipated because I’ve been overeating trying to gain weight. I’ve had small bowl movements today & a few good farts &it does relieve the pressure. But when I drink my usual bottle of water it’s like my bladder feels full as to where it didn’t necessarily before. I was going to wait another day see if I can get a good bowel movement & see if it helps before going to ER.

I’ve been losing weight lately without trying actually been eating MORE! When I read certain cancer symptoms it matches up. Lack of appetite, weight loss, barely being able to eat without feeling full. In 2025 I changed my whole diet for my kidney stones to mainly fruits & veggies & I barely eat anymore. I never fully recovered my appetite.. it comes & goes but I rarely feel like I can eat like I used to & when I do eat the foods are so low calorie. Like my brother he 6’2 235 lbs . He eats probably 2500-3000 calories a day I’m 6’1 175 lbs probably eat 1500 calories & even that’s a stretch sometimes I can’t get to 1,000. And on top I’m not used to being skinny I usually walk around at 200-210 lbs . I’m 33 yo I do have a long history of smoking sadly. Weed and tobacco for 15 years so despite me being young I have multiple decades of smoke damage to the body. Anybody ever thought their weight loss was cancer & it wasn’t something else?

I’m really a terrible employee I’m not sure if it’s a mindset thing or a motivation thing. I’m always one of the top in customer service, sales, referrals etc . Customers love me but my coworkers are getting tired of me. Im always coming to work late always high and I outsell and out charisma everybody. I will throw in I work retail so it’s not like I’m selling cars or anything but ppl tell me I could be a manager all the time I just don’t give a damn. Me personally I think that’s a sign that I need to be an entrepreneur but I also know entrepreneurship is more work than 9-5 lol I just don’t care about these companies or jobs like that

Wondering does nicotine cause weight loss ? picked the bad habit back up January 1st been smoking blunts and tobacco leafs with weed. Can’t seem to keep weight on . Appetite nowhere near were it was.

Woke up 4 something this morning used the bathroom washed my hands out of habit & remember my area is in a “boil water” warning due to water shortages. Rewashed my hands with bottled water and used a little alcohol to kill germs. Should I be straight?

Wassup yall so long story short I stopped smoking weed for 8 months . I used to smoke backwoods, leafs , all the bad stuff tobacco products. I started back smoking only used papers& bowls for like a year. Oneday my bro had a backwood I said “why not, haven’t smoked one in 2 years” & I been HOOKED to nicotine the last 4 months. Last time I quit because I was dealing with kidney stones & didn’t know the cause. I have a small stone & got addicted which I shouldn’t cause nicotine dries you out. Is there advice anybody can give on how to curb nicotine addiction?

I air fried some chicken & left a few pieces in the air fryer fully cooked. I came back tonight and heated them up 7 mins at 250 degrees and ate them. Should I be okay ?

Feeling really lonely lately. 33 M definitely behind the 8 ball had to move back in with my folks so that has me a little down but I’ve never been a highly successful dude with women. Like I get called handsome but I’m not anybody to call home about. I grew up with very low self esteem. I’ve only slept with 7 women at 33 so that gives you an idea of my low sexual prowess with women. Here lately I’ve been wanting to approach women in real life because social media/ dating sights is hit or miss for me but I just don’t have the confidence. Something in me just holding me back like I don’t have the confidence to look a woman in the eye & flirt or ask for a date. Is there anybody that struggled with this & got better at a later age?

Hey guys so I was diagnosed with a 3mm stone last October which has caused me no pain. I have been peeing regularly with strong streams. I’ve had this stone since November 2024. So today I get off from work I go to the park smoke(I smoke weed & tobacco ) & I notice I have to poop really bad. So I poop & without tmi my poop is HOT & my penis is hot. I pee’d a little bit at the park & after the poop. When I peed it was hot & since then I’ve drank about a liter. Which has come out in small streams & . As I’ve relaxed the streams get bigger & bigger but I have a slight bloated feeling in my stomach & bladder. Is it my kidneys trying to catch up with all the water I drank ? Should I just relax & monitor it for the rest of the night? Or should I go to the ER?
