I quit smoking cold turkey on November 13th. I still cough each day. Although, the last 2 days my coughing has lessened quite a bit. However, I find myself unable to deal with emotions. In the past 28 years, I smoked cigarettes when I became angry or sad. Now, I find it difficult to cope with these emotions. Somebody stole my camera and I was a complete emotional wreck the entire day. I am not proud of how I handled myself. The next day I ate until I threw up. I cry often because I'm sad over certain issues in my life and I find it hard to overcome this sadness. The lack of smoking seems to increase the intensity of my emotions. I feel like there is something wrong with me because I don't think I should be having such strong emotional problems 4 weeks after quitting smoking. I don't know how to be happy within myself right now. I'm very hard on myself right now and I'm not sure how to get through these days. Anyone experience this after quitting an addiction?
