I have never tried to give the cigarettes up before and never realised just how much of an addiction I had.
The anger I have had over the last 4 days though has been unbelievable and has probably been the worst part about quitting so far. I am now on day 5 and I am not feeling so worked up or tense. I have found the sweets jar though and that bothers my hips a little
I am feeling fairly positive right now and may just sort myself a gym membership to counter act those sweets :).

Welcome Zene. You've made a convincing start,well done.
I think part of the problem with the quitting symptoms we get is their unfamiliarity. The unfamiliarity gives rise to a feeling of shock, and seems to magnify the struggle with dealing with the symptom itself. So you end up dealing with two things - in your case, the challenge of extreme anger and, at the same time, unfamiliarity/shock with feeling such extreme anger. This went on for 4 days, which must have seemed like an eternity to you.
You've done very well handling this double whammy.
