Feeling silly and empty

First the silly part. I asked for help in my last blog because I could not figure out how to join and of course no one knew what I was talking about. I want to join the freedom train and it asks to provide a link to my profile. I do not know how to do this.

I have been feeling empty since my son left. While raising my kids, I never considered that they would grow up and move out of state. But I have figured out something. I have the same feeling in my chest that makes me think I am having a craving. I think I am associating any periods of feeling "out of sorts" with nicotine cravings. This is good to know so I don't relapse when I'm not even really want or need a cigarette. Wondering if others confuse this.

Hope everyone is having a great day!
