I've read and reread your responses. Thank you for these nuggets of hard fought wisdom and experience. It really does help, as does your support. So, other than "everyone's quit is different", the general consensus is to expect the same for a while. I think knowing this will in the least help ease the frustration with myself in the moment. Better days ahead, eh?

Thank you! I really appreciate your responses. If it's par for the course and I have more time in this phase, alright...for my mind, it's better to know this. I don't like it and I feel like a neurotic, but I guess... OK, forging onward.... :wacko: Hey Bandit, I have a few other areas of concern that could use your mighty powers. Can we talk?

Hey Seasoned QTers, I'm just shy of a 2 month quit and for the most part things are going well. I have no intention of smoking, so this is not a SOS of that nature, but I would really appreciate your insight on a couple things that are bothering me. I'm wondering... When can I anticipate those sporadic, out of the blue hard cravings (or whatever they are) to stop? Maybe month 4 or 5? There isn't a specific time of day they hit, like mornings or after meals, it's just random. They're intense and I want them behind me soon! So, when did they lessen for you? When do mood swings even out? I don't mean that junkie anxiety kind of thing during hell week. More like...I can go from happy go lucky to tears or frustration in short order and it's disturbing. I will say it's getting better, but shouldn't I be past this by now? Did you guys have these blasts or spikes of short-temperedness or tears and if so, when did it ease up? And it's not always when faced with a stressful situation. I can be alone on a treadmill, music and endorphins pumping and bam!....tears. Maybe it has nothing to do with addiction recovery....which is mighty scary too. I just want to feel better...solid. And I want to know how much longer I can anticipate this shaky ground. Thanks everyone!
