Morningglory,
Being angry is part of the process. We all grieve when we give up on smoking. Its part of the healing. Smoking has been our companion for many years, and just as if we lost a loved one, we have lost our long time partner. It was by our choice, but we still have memories, and as long as we do, we will remember the good times rather than the bad. Don't look at it as having to give it up. Find a positive message that works for you and memorize it. Keep repeating it. And remember acceptance is a way off yet. But you have been through denial, bargining, and now anger...all normal.
Just keep up one day, or one minute at a time and you will get past. And spend some time planning for the healthy moments in your new life. Practice new exercises, plan a trip, look forward to your next goal.
And call when you need to hear from us... someone will be here.
