This afternoon I went grocery shopping with Mom, and Costco has already gone full Christmas Crazy. I’m talking crowds, carts, chaos, and enough holiday samples to feed a small army. It’s like Santa’s workshop collided with a Black Friday sale and decided to open early.
And here’s the thing—this will be my first holiday season in a long time without smoking. I still get triggered when I eat, and the holidays are basically one giant eating marathon with decorative lights. So yeah… this is going to be an experience.
But you know what? The fact that I walked through a jam-packed Costco, surrounded by food, noise, and stress, and didn’t even think about buying a pack proves something big: I’m strengthening. The cravings don’t run the show anymore.
Holiday meals, family chaos, and no cigarettes?
I got this.
