WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS AND REMEDIES

15. Loneliness: Call a friend, go to a movie, take a walk,l read a book, join a club.   Lean a new hobby.  Get involoved with your community and life !


16. Night Time awakenings:  This is common for some and should go away within a week of quitting.

17. Restlessness:  The more activity you have the less restless you will be.  Try to ask for more work from your employer and do extra chores around the house.

18. Tightness in the chest:  This is part of the recovery process of your body getting back to normal.  It may be caused by the need for nicotine or sore muscles from coughing. Wait it out and be patient, in the meantime deep breathing will help !  

19. Weight gain:  This is always the biggest concern for many people when they want to quit.  The fact of the matter is, it is healither to be a few pounds over weight than it is to smoke.  Key word here is few.   It is normal to gain 5-10 pounda and it is also normal to take it off after your body adjusts for  a period of time.
