So I'm at day 20. I didn't think it was affecting me that bad. I am apparently VERY wrong. I have the most amazing girlfriend and I'm constantly mad at her lately. It's mostly when I drink that I pop off but I know it's the not smoking that's doing it. I just manage to contain it till I have a few.

She started to quit with me but I knew from the start she was only doing it for me and that it would not last and I'm okay with that. I just didn't think that I was dealing with it that bad until tonight when I (and she) realized that I'm pizzed at everything and way more so than I should be. I don't even know what I'm asking from ya'll other than I needed to put this down in writing. I love her VERY much and don't want to loose her but also can't go back to smoking.

I know I'm not the only one to have had to deal with this, someone throw me a bone here on what to do.

I was smart enough to run to CVS and get a fresh batch of the "commit" nicotine lozenges to help me through tonight but that only helped me, she's in bed PIZZED to say the least. Need some sympathy at least.

I would sit down with her after things have cooled off a bit and have a long talk. If she tried to quit she knows first hand what you are going through. Let her know it is not her, just the temporary situation you are in until the crave passes. Do you best to learn the situations that put you in the bad place wanting tobacco. The best advise I can give you, when you feel yourself about to snap at a loved one - go for a walk alone, make up an excuse to hang up the phone, make an excuse to leave the room (ie. bathroom break). These are all things I have done the last couple of months. Moral of the story, get yourself out of the situation without blowing your top. Maybe some of the veteran quitters have better ideas they can share but these have worked for me.
