I haven't really started into a grieving period yet, but I won't be surprised if I do.
When I was smoke-free for a few months back in 2004-5 I did go through a grieving period. I felt like a part of me was dying. The addict in me... that person I had identified as "me" for so many years was 'passing away'. It was actually a very sad time.
But, it was [i]good grief[/i] . That part of my identity had to change... or rather, it now has to, as it's turned out.
Anyone else gone through that? Or going through that?
