9 days into the guit, 3 days nic free AND JUST A FUCKING RAGE MONSTER AT THIS POINT. Bout 1 more dirty look from my wife or smart ass look from her kids before i leave them all. Seriously this shit has me looking to move out, not that i had a great marriage before but this last week i have really grown to hate her and my step kids. Just spent a shit ton of cash on CBD oil an candies which my wife was quick to point out as stupid but i was recommended to by a trusted friend, supposedly it helps with the rage and depression so will see i guess. Kinda out of options here on how to handle my life an what i really want. I do know i want this fucking monkey off my back, shits way to expensive now
I was there, buddy, with the rage, that is. I already had some quick temper issues before I quit, and the first few weeks of mental and physical withdrawals damn sure didn't help. I did have to remind myself that my wife and kids had nothing to do with my addiction or my decision to quit, so I had to channel that rage somewhere else and learn to control it. The shit will pass. Now, it will come back, too, but not as bad as what you're dealing with right now.
I had to do some apologizing, and you might, too. Get the fake stuff. By day 4 of a cold turkey quit, the nicotine should be out of your system. It won't be out of your head, though, and that's where the real battle is fought. If you are a fisherman as your name implies, you know all about how much patience it takes to fish. How much perseverance it takes to cast your line over and over until you get that strike. How much frustration builds when you get hung up on a log or a bass wraps your line around a dock pole three or four times. Yet you deal with it, and you keep fishing.
Guess what. You're gonna need that patience...with yourself and with others who may or may not know what you're dealing with right now. You're gonna need that perseverance...to keep quitting one day at a time, even when that shit gets hard. And you're gonna need to channel that frustration...because it's not going anywhere for the time being, so
the fuck up, focus your energy ODAAT, and stay quit. Gonna send you a PM with my digits. Use them when you need to.
