I hope and pray that all our EX Family are safe and healthy this AM after the Hurricane Sandy! Thank God the worst is over but I know there will be a long recovery to put life back to normal!
This morning I found this list which I find so useful because often folks come to us at the end of Week 1 and ask, "Is this normal? How long will it last?"
These symptoms surface after three-five days of quitting smoking and linger for approximately two weeks.
Emotional withdrawal
-Depression
-Angry
-Bored
-Lonely
-Mood swing
Physical withdrawal
-Bowel discomfort
-Nasal and throat problems
-Increase in appetite
-Headaches
-Lack of sleep
-Restlessness/lack of concentration
-Weight gain
-Sweating and shaky hands and feet
-Skin trouble
Instead of losing motivation, after reading these withdrawal symptoms, the one thought any quitter must focus on is this: The fact that your body is changing so much when quitting, simply showcases how much it is continuously changed and affected while you still smoke. Avoid poor health and dangerous diseases - quit smoking today.
Another Article: Smoking: A Deadly Exercise reminds us of this Bible Verse:
“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life” (Prov 4:23 NIV).
There are a lot of gems in today's reading, so make yourself comfortable and fortify your Quititude by Knowing your Enemy!
