tired of being angry :(

Hi Kara - nice to meet you. Wow 45 days already, you are doing super. We all have those times when we wish that we had kept our mouths shut

. I think most people understand, to a point, how hard this is and will not take it personally. I do a lot of really deep breathing and it sure does help. Remember, that is exactly what you did when you were smoking, inhaling and exhaling, now it's just with good clean air and it really does help to relax you.

Keep coming here to post as there are a lot of wonderful and supportive new friends to help. Jo

hi all, this is the first time i'm posting. nice to meet you :). i have been smoke free for 45 days now. the past fews days have been really, really hard. i have gained 10 pounds and can pretty much feel the fat growing on me, it's disappointing! anyway, i feel really impatient lately - i mean, so impatient that i say things that i otherwise would not say if i was still smoking. i used to have a very good talent for saying the right thing when under pressure - it took a lot for me to get upset. now i am flying off the handle in any situation - and saying things that i really shouldn't be saying, especially at work. my attitude is awful!
so...i am wondering if other people have gone through similar things. and if so, will it ease up with time? i had quit once before for 6 months and found it never really went away...and i'm nervous that it wasn't just a one time thing, and i will never be "normal" again. i feel like i am missing something, and that when i'm impatient and angry, i know that i might not be handling the situation well, but i lack the empathy to change my behavior. what's up with that?? i feel like i am a teenager at times.

also, i'm wondering if any of you ladies out there think your ability to manage your quit is compromised or affected by monthly hormonal changes? i'm finding that i am a bear these days!

looking forward to your advice and support. congratulations to everyone on their own quit!
