We help the restoration of our sanity as we learn to determine our priorities. We want to deal with first things first. Many of us worry that when we stop using nicotine we will eat more and gain weight. Often people do gain some weight. Our metabolism can change, and we may use food to relieve our cravings for a while. The physical and emotional effects of additional weight are important, but nothing is more important than not using nicotine. The health dangers from nicotine addiction far outweigh weight gain.
As we regain our senses we are often graced by desires to eat healthier foods and cleanse our system with plenty of water. Vigorous exercise can also help release the frustration and deprivation we may initially feel when we stop using nicotine.
Our priority is to stop putting nicotine into our body. Then many improvements become possible. So, in the beginning of our recovery, the worry about the weight can wait.
