It hit me this morning. I feel like I am ready to run a marathon. The world is brighter, the air sweeter, everything is wonderful. I cannot imagine being sad that I don't smoke, the way I could not imagine being happy that I don't smoke. I literally bounced out of bed this morning without a single care or woe in the world.
Discussions about withdrawal symptoms are pretty much limited to doom, gloom, crying, depression, anger and the whole negative side. I assume my feelings are just temporary, like any other withdrawal symptom it too will go away. But I have to ask, does anyone else have these kinds of feelings in addition to the bad feelings. I know that the long term quitters sometimes have craves long after they quit, it would be nice to know that sometimes the neurons synapse differently and you end up feeling as hugely out of proportion wonderful, as you sometimes feel hugely out of proportion bad.
