I got a PM from someone here that have alot of respect for. His opinion was it may not be anger as much as anxiety. Right or wrong that changed my outlook and helped me.
I have alot of freinds here. All of you have helped me. That is why I posted here, to involve my friends because I knew it would help.
Well................that and I wanted to ask for forgiveness and give you a reason if I was breaking the #1 rule here......................Don't be a dick.
I'm sure your friendships will serve you well. I was just commenting on your mentioning "Anger". I've known a lot of people that quite smoking, Some did become short tempered for a bit, however, none of them mentioned Anger. It's been my experience that Anger is totally different from someone that's a bit out of sorts. I too did the cold turky thing after 30 years of smoking (after all smoke were free with every mean in VietNam). I too became short tempered, but I never experienced Anger. I was Angery after 9/11, I was very Angery when I returned home from Vietnam and got spit on and called a baby kill. That night on hill 822 on Novermber 19, 1967, I got really angery with the NVA and VC trying to over run our positions. So I know Anger, and how sometimes, it can be a good thing. As long as you can control or manage it. I'm just saying that because you used the term "Anger" its my experience that Anger is never the result of a short term experience. It takes a long time to build , not Smoking may have triggered it, but my guess is that you were one Angry Smoker.
