Hi Bresmama. I can relate to every word you are saying. Also a Chantix quitter. It does get easier. But right now, I have 2 suggestions for you.
1) Expect to be tired and pamper yourself as much as you can - your body is going through a major adjustment and it will pass. I think I napped/rested as much as I could the first few weeks.
2) Channel that anger you feel into determination to break free. When the thought to smoke hits you, remind yourself that you don't need it and it's all a big lie. Acknowledge the thought and then move on. Tell it get lost, hit the road, buzz off.... By know, courtesy of the Chantix, most of the nicotine is out of your system. So from here on it is mostly a mind game. Do whatever it takes to get in control.
ok, I have a 3rd one, too. Come here, and read, post and repeat as needed! You can do this!
