Hello Everybody,
I have recently quit smoking, my one month anniversary is on Thursday. I have two small children (3 years old, and 8 months old) - I've found that my mood and relative anger spikes at times now that my body is baron of the nicotine that it is used to having.
I have used all of the energy and focus I have to NOT show my anger, emotions, mood spikes to my children. I've been successful probably 95% of the time harboring my mood swings internally, and not showing them to my little ones.
Here is the problem: It's really caused an issue for my wife, and I. We are a loving couple, we're really best friends... But I've had a hard time controlling my little out-bursts. I give angry looks, grit my teeth... I don't "snap", or freak out by any means.. But she expressed concern to me that I'm less myself, and she worries that his is the "New Frank" -- This is not okay with me.
Are there any NON DRUG remedies that anybody knows of that help suppress anger or mood swings?
