Dear Joel,
I am now entering my 8th week of not smoking. My 4th without any kind of nicotine. I smoked for 27 years.
I am really pleased that I am not smoking any more but I kind of have the feeling inside that I am only pretending to be a non smoker, that it isn't the real me. I keep getting really upset and emotional.
I thought that by now I would be feeling a lot better. I do not want to ever have another cigarette - or even one more puff of a cigarette. But neither do I want to feel like this for the rest of my life - as if something or some part of me is missing.
I seem to do ok in work - where there are people who smoke around me. It does not bother me at all - in fact it just makes me surer of the fact that I don't want to be a smoker. When I am at home I seem to be in complete misery. I just miss smoking, but don't want to smoke.
Is this normal? Will it pass? I feel like some sort of a schizophrenic moron.
Thank you for your time.
