I've been drinking (yes, I've learnt to drink without a fag) - have had a horrible day, really angry all day, can't see an end to the anger....

I'm 18 days into my quit and yet to touch any alcohol. There again i've never really been a drinker myself unless on holiday.

Hope you have a better day today Poppy.

Hopefully by the time you read this, you will have had a good sleep and you are feeling a little brighter and calmer.

Days like this will happen, but try to find your inner Zen, and quieten that rage.

Have a lovely day.

you dont say what your angry about, smoking can cover up a lot of anger and when its taken away the anger is waiting witharms folded , ''well what about me '' its saying .im of the beleif that its ok to be angry. and is something to be acted upon rather than acted out...find out what your angry about, there is always a reason or several reasons. then do something about it, its always healthy to acknowledge it rather than deny it or see it as something to be ashamed of. in my experience there is usually fear behind it , the remedy for that is a little courage as a start. work through it. hopefully i dont sound patronizing, iv been there myself a few times on this quit, in fact lots on this forum have too ,

hope u feel better soon, everything passes.

If it seems that there is no real substance to your anger, it could be another attempt by your junkie brain to tempt you back into smoking. I had a couple of failed attempts where I was so angry that it seemed like the only way to calm myself down.

Obviously, once I had lit up, I realised that this was completely stupid, but by then it was too late. Funny things, our brains....

Stay strong, and ride the wave - you will probably find that it is not as bad as your feared.
