“quitting cigs and dabs cold turkey”

I quit cigs and dabs cold turkey due to a severe stomach ulcer. The physical combination of withdrawal hit my digestive system incredibly hard.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to manage withdrawal symptoms without exacerbating my ulcer."
If I could tell you one thing
"Stay hydrated and seek help when withdrawal nausea and ulcer pain hit at the same time."
