As I get further into my quit I am figuring out something that works for me. Ride the waves of emotion. If I feel good, I celebrate. If I feel down or sad or angry, I figure I have to really feel these emotions in order to heal. So I do what I can to take as much comfort as I can while going through this. I can't force these feelings to go away, they just will, in time. I can't force happiness, it will come, more prevalent all the time. So for the meantime, I intend to let nature take its course. Just my two cents worth.
