Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

I quit smoking 5 days ago and I quit drinking 9 days ago and I haven't been very nice to Elwood. I yell at him when he wants to play and get very annoyed with him even when I know he's not trying to get in trouble. I've got a short fuse lately and am very irritable.

I feel so guilty and so sad about this. I know it is because I am having physical withdrawals that I am in such a bad mood. I want to work on being more patient with Elwood and remember that he can feel my energy and emotions even if I can't explain it to him for him to understand.

How do I be kinder to Elwood...AND to myself?
