Why do I feel so down tonight?

It has now been 7 days since I quit.  I look back at the week and see a lot of victories, I've felt pretty strong, committed and focused, even though I was also frazzled.

But tonight, I feel horrible.  So dang down, even had a hard cry.  This feels like depression.  I tell myself it will pass, but I don't fully believe it will.  I should be happy, right?

I am 59 years old and love my four dogs and two cats, all strays I couldn't turn away. I love to be outside in my yard, watching the birds or puttering around in the dirt. I am so grateful that I let go of those inner voices that kept telling me, It is too late to quit smoking, or, Why quit now? I am so looking forward to being smoke-free.
