My heart goes out to you...If I could take the withdrawal on for you I would, but sadly, it is a thing that each of us must do alone. I can't tell you where the sadness comes from or where it goes, I can however, tell you that you will adjust eventually. that dosen't make it any less real for you, but I pray that it will give you some confidence that things will not always be this way...
All of us have different quits...My withdrawal was filled with a lot of regret and anquish over things that have happened to me in the last few years. I live a great deal of my life in my head, I imagine having a two year old keeps you closer to the ground. That is a very good thing. Perhaps you should center totally on the boy, do things with him more intensely...One thing I found that helped me leave nicotine behind was becoming more aware of the goodness in my life...Sounds a bit polyanish, but by enumerating the positives in life, we generate a sense of humility and thankfulness that allows us to let go of the negative bits of living.
Remember this...you are not losing anything by cutting nicotine out of your life. You are in fact gaining many advantages that can only be experienced if you accept the difficulty of withdrawal now...
Stay as close as you can to this site, read as much as you can and post, post and post until you begin to feel better...Believe me we all understand...
