Sherri this is one of those times when you have to put yourself first if you are going to be successful. The end result will benefit both you and your family. You can't let your fear of how you might react to a situation with your family stop you from quitting nor can you use that as a reason to smoke again after you quit.
Everybody's quit is different but I don't think you are going to become a raging monster :) The fact is you are going to be getting rid of the monster. You can channel those "angry energies" into other things like excercise or doing something you have put off for a long time. Chances are those feelings won't stay with you very long anyway.
The only thing you should fear is not quitting. This is about you and either your family will support you or they won't but it is you that has to make the choice to quit and stay quit. You will find lots of help and support here. So don't be afraid, just take it one minute, one hour, one day at a time. You can do this and I bet your family will be proud of you for doing it.

Look at it this way, it's better than being subjected to going to your early funeral.
Read the posts, we have all had withdrawal symptoms and lived. You will have withdrawal symptoms and you too will live, so will your family.
HELLO EVERYONE MY NAME IS SHERRI. I AM NEW TO THIS SO I AM PRETTY NERVOUS. I HAVE TRIED TO QUIT BEFORE AND AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVEN'T KICKED THE HABIT YET. I AM SO SCARED RIGHT NOW IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. I AM SCARED FOR THE TOLL IT WILL TAKE ON MY HUSBAND AND MY CHILDREN. MY FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON THAT I AM QUITTING AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO HAVE TO BE SUBJECTED TO HEAVY WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS. IF SOMEONE COULD GIVE ME SOME POINTERS I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. :8o:
