Hi Jan
I can't say that I know exactly what you are feeling because I am only on day 1, but everyone I talk to that has quit for any number of years, has told me that it never really leaves you and that a craving can come on anytime (whether you are a new quitter or an old quitter). We all need to keep strong when it does happen.
Hang in there, be proud of what you have done. Here is where the new people get their inspiration. Good Luck always! :):)
Although I completed my PMSing right before I quit smoking I dont know at the point what will happen....But, I can tell you from being in recovery for drugs and alcohol in the very beginning when I hit those milestones (any time in recovery thats under a year) I would become emotional about things and to this day when I am about to complete another year in recovery I tend to look at what happen over the last year and emotions do tend to take over for awhile.....As of March 28, 2007 I will have 4 years of recoverys so I am currently at the moments dealing my emotion issues from my last year of recovery along with quitting smoking......
I MUST BE CRAZY DOING ALL OF THIS AT ONCE......
So I say its normal and you are not overreacting and dramatizing things that are going on in your life.....
Jan,
What perfect timing, I needed this post! I was a B**** yesterday, but I knew I was overreacting to the smallest thing and I asked people to understand and to forgive. Everyone did, except Sweetheart, who got MAD at me for having a crappy day. But even when I was smoking I wasn't allowed to have a bad day in his world. I have to be happy and charming all the time? I think not! Last night I ignored him and went to sleep (although very early). All is better now.
I don't know if quitters experience this more often than the general public or not. Everyone has bad days...do quitters just have a convenient excuse? There were other contributing factors in my world this week (although PMS isn't one of them) that exacerbated my mood, is it fair to chalk it up to "I quit smoking"?
Maybe we should call this the "VENT" thread?
Thanks Jan! Great job on 47 days! Cheers back at ya!

OMG!! I needed to read this post too!! Lord, I felt like a serial killer with her feelings on her sleeve yesterday!! I'm still feeling like that to a point. Serenity, I'm going through the same thing!! Just keep thinking, no more visits from Aunt Flo'!!! ha ha ha ha ha I know, OVER SHARING but we have to find that silver lining somewhere.
I've definitely been over reacting to everything. I went into this calm state for several days but I think that was the calm before the storm. My husband is scared and is still looking at me like I just emerged from an egg sack in some SciFi movie. HA HA HA HA
Put the sharp instruments away for now and we'll get through this together.
Group hug, group hug!!

Okay, yesterday and today, my mood has been much better. Day 11 and 12 of my quit was horrible as you all know. I half expected to open the front door only to see a tall priest with dark, smoldering eyes here to pay a visit with a bucket of Holy Water. (The mood I was in, I'd have beat the crap out of him too.) Day 13 and 14, I'm a regular Tinkerbell thinking my happy thoughts. Weird, huh?
I sure hope everyone else is doing better.
Hugs,
Tutti

Tutti, you so totally crack me up! It's an adventure (and a pleasure) to read your words!
You're doing great with your quit, btw! Keep it up!
