When you drastically cutdown or quit smoking, many people go through an "angry period", usually only for a week or so, then it gradually fades away. You may get pissed off very easily, sometimes reacting irrationally, almost like you are out of control, but you don't realize it. Hopefully cold-turkeyers will understand this and make a conscious effort to control their emotions and not "react up", as I believe these symptons do fade away fairly soon. And then you can start to remember you dreams, wonderful dreams!
In the medium term it is important to understand that the hobbies and past-times you enjoyed when stoned are often a crashing bore while straight, (i.e. video games, walks in the park, etc). So you will need to find new interests which will challenge and entertain you, (bingo?)
If I was going to quit, it would mean a complete change of lifestyle. In fact, I would be a new person. Some of your friends may not like this new guy as much as the old guy. Perhaps you might need to make some new friends, which share interest in the things you enjoy to do while straight...once you figure out what that is...
Bon chance mon ami!
