The way to hold on is to keep reminding you that you do have a choice, and then to verify it. The feeling is just a manifestation of a belief which is rooted in verification. You can also lose the feeling if you stop believing your cost-benefit analysis, because then you stop reminding yourself.

I have felt at times that the yetzer hora went away. But that was my yetzer hora in disguise trying to get me to lower my guard.

Don't be fooled
