WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS AND REMEDIES

16. Loneliness Call a  friend, go to a movie, go for a walk, take up a hobby, join a club. Get involved with your community, get involved with life !

17. Night Time awakenings:  Are not too common, but should only last the first week of quitting and should go away shortly after that.

18. Restlessness:  The more exercise you get the less resless you will be.  Ask your employer for more work, do extra chores at home.

19. Tightness in the chest:  This is a normal part of the body recovering and getting back to normal.  the body still wants nicotine.  This may be caused from sore muscles from coughing or the need for nicotine.  Be patient wait it out, do some deep breathing and positive self talking !


20. Weight gain:  This is the most common concern of people trying to quit smoking.  The truth of the matter is, it is far more healither to have a few extra pound on you than to smoke.  The key here being few.  Most people gain between 5 - 10 pounds when quitting.  After the body adjusts for  a period of time it is common for people to take off the weight with proper diet and exercise.
