Well done RaisingL! I'm nearly at the end of day twelve and recognise lots of the waves that you've been riding too. In the first week I went through the angry irritable phase too, and told my family I had to go for a brisk walk to work it off rather than get irrationally grumpy with them. Whenever I got depressed I would go and lie down and just switch off and give myself a ten minute power down rather than take it too seriously - and sometimes have a right good weep too - thanks to this site and its links I was expecting these things and didnt let them panic me too much. My husband is a smoker and he has cut down massively and stopped smoking in the house, and my heavy self-loathing cloak of being a smoker has lifted off my shoulders already, isn't it a fabulous feeling?! :)
My moods are getting much calmer now too. It's tempting to nag all my smoking friends (and hubby too) to go cold turkey and say goodbye to their addictions too .... But little steps in educating them too I guess. Keep on keeping on :)
