That feeling is pretty standard Sparky yet I know it's hard to shake. Try to focus on the big picture though .... improved health - improved wealth and freedom from enslavement to nicotine addiction! Those are all huge benefits. It's even harder during the holiday season because we all want to "feel good" and smoking was part of our feel good process when we smoked. Truth is, not smoking can make us feel a lot better about things. No more running outside for a smoke in the cold and missing time with family & friends or worrying about if we have enough smokes to tide us over while the stores are closed at Christmas
Giving the finger to smoking during the holidays can feel REAL GOOD!
