E.S.P
Emotionally - When something is upsetting me and causing me stress, I make sure I speak ASAP to a supportive friend.
Spiritually - I make sure to get out into nature and enjoy my new breath of fresh air.
Physically - I go to the gym and workout regularly.

Excellent advice DannyO. ESP........Emotionally, Spiritually and Physically.
We know know that smoking did not relieve stress. Smoking was just a way to get our nicotine fix. The fix made up feel good. We did come to rely on it, believed in it and missed it as our crutch BUT it was not a friend. Reaching out to a real friend or supportive community such as this is helpful in stressful times. Not lighting up.
Spiritual, whether divine or just getting in touch with your inner self by relaxing , meditating or enjoying nature also helps stress. Not lighting up.
Physically keeping active not only engages your mind on other things but exercise relieves tension and stress. Not lighting up.
If you want to lighten up your life, be a non smoker.
The only thing smoking lightened was your billfold.
