Is it normal since i quit smoking i act like this....

Pajamas!

It's normal, you are doing well, hang on in there and it will pass...

Well you said you usually quit durig holidays andthats a good idea....but now that your back at work you feel irratable...that akes sense too...because cigarr
ettes was you feeling of relaxation and de stress....its hard to give up something that is pleasurable butbespecially when we are in a more stresfull environment

yea my mom went through the same thing and gained a lot of weight. (but we dont say anything because she gets upset and says her fibromalgyia stops her from excercising like she use to) but dont worry, youll find a new completely and equally destructive habit that will replace the old one!

This happens to me when I don't masturbate.

Oh Yeah, totally normal your gonna go through with some cravings due the quting.

Over time, smoking often becomes a psychosexual need. Very primal and basic. When you quit, it leaves a hole in your psyche, usually manifesting as depression, anger or frustration. Whenever you find yourself in an environment where you used to smoke (car, bar, etc.), your body tells you there's something wrong, and dumps adrenalin to jog your brain to action.

So you must deflect or replace that need. Best is to change that environment. Don't go to bars. Get a different car that doesn't smell of smoke or play an entirely different type of music (this often will actually work).

Outside of environment, most often people subconsciously use food to replace smoking (not good) I used intense exercise, so that I built my endorphin level as a substitute for caffeine (and it made me look better!) My father is extremely disciplined, so he was able to use chewing gum as the substitute. The important thing it to find something for your mouth to do to fool it out of looking for a cigarette.

I quit for the second time last year and of course I feel amazing, however my withdrawals from it were really quite bad. I was angrier than I have ever been before, but-thankfully, I rode it out and now I feel as if I never smoked in my life. The first time I quit was easier on my body but I found that I still craved cigarettes on occasion. Just keep fresh fruit and veggies handy and you won't feel so bad for nibbling all the time. Also try chromium tablets - they help with the sugar cravings. Good luck!

good luck, being irritable to others is a small price to pay for your health, im curious about yr snappy answers and who you are, ha ha

I didn't get irritable but I did get that feeling of "I need something" and, in the past, that thing had always been a cigarette. If you can replace that craving with something non-harmful but still enjoyable, you have a good chance of getting past it.

Trite as it may sound, for me it was home-made lemonade with artificial sweeteners. I made sure I always had lemons in the house and I bought a flashy juicer. The act of juicing became the replacement for lighting up and the act of drinking the product was the kick.

I feel your pain. I quit for awhile and for lack of a better word, I was an asshole. The best advice I can give you is just to think before you say anything. I know it can be hard but eventually the quick temper should subside. As for the cravings for sugary pleasure I honestly don't know the remedy for that. It's an ongoing struggle for me.
