Depression from quitting is ruining my life

[Knockout]

You're a fuckin tool dude. Don't like the site? Don't want help? Then get the fuck out.

[B-loMatt]

I quit three weeks and two days ago (January 7th). It feels like a lifetime. But compared to the 6.5 years I chewed, I guess it's a drop in the bucket.

I'm 29 years old, so I don't need much advice. I've been around the world. I've been through a lot. I know how to deal.

However, I've been pretty angry since I quit. I don't care about anything. It's pretty dark. The littlest things piss me off. I'm irritable around my wife, and she doesn't deserve it.

I don't know what to do. I'm tempted to get a prescription for Lexapro, a drug I had success with in my late teenage years when someone close to me died.

I don't even know why I'm writing here. A lot of the stuff I've seen here is BS, because quite frankly, it's not quitting that's fucked with me, it's my moods. Just not having any dip in the house has made it easy, and I just chew gum or Breathsavers.

I'd've posted this somewhere else but it seems I'm limited where I can discuss this kind of shit here.

If anyone has anything to add, please, anything will help as of now.

Trying to be nice here, but you don't know what you don't know. If you want help drop the no-it-all bull shit and start reading the welcome center. You are through the first three week which means you have heart and courage, and I hope it is just the fog of quitting and whatnot that has your first intro post making you sound like an arrogant jerk... There are answers to all your questions posted all over KTC so I do not think you have dug very deep here... You want to be quit and feel better, then learn how we do things here and live it. Otherwise all you are going to do is create a shit storm of bull shit. If you are serious post roll and drop the attitude.

LMAO!!! 'crackup'

I'm 29 years old, so I don't need much advice.  I've been around the world.  I've been through a lot.  I know how to deal.

I'm 56 years old and seen a lot, dipped way longer than you've lived and what quitting involves is bullshit.

I don't even know why I'm writing here.  A lot of the stuff I've seen here is BS, because quite frankly, it's not quitting that's fucked with me, it's my moods.

The mode swings are part of the reprogramming your addicted brain. I wish you best of luck because that's what you're gonna need. Throwing meds in is probably a good idea for an addict. Go for it, along with luck your off and running. Quitting KTC style doesn't have anything to do with luck but you obviously know a lot. 'crackup' are you 29 or 19? You sound like a smart teenager.

23 days of quitting is good but you are far from in the clear. We've seen many a really smart quitter cave into their addiction after 100's of days and years.

BTW 'Finger' Back to ya!

Troll written all over this. Will he even check back to see any responses? I doubt it!

Laughing at ourselves helps. We're slaves to cramming our mouths full of actual shit.

I hope you wont write off KTC that easy. All of us have experienced the same thing you are going through, and we tackle it one day at a time. Together. We make a promise to each other that we keep. And we spend time helping each other keep it.

If you choose to get involved here, you will find:

1. A group of men and women who will do anything to help your quit at a moment's notice.

2. A wealth of information collected and generously deposited by thousands who have been around the world AND managed to stay quit.

3. An accountability system that is unrivaled by any, and WILL help you kick what is (whether you are ready to admit it or not) a serious addiction.

On another note, your nicotine addiction is causing your moods. If you choose to cave on your quit because youre in a bad mood, you will have prolonged your addiction (which is driving your problems). Do not be fooled. This gets easier, not harder. All you can do is think, "one day at a time."

As for marriage? take it out on me instead.
