Hey evinced,
Welcome. You're story reads a lot like mine (you can read my post here http://legacy.rebootnation.org/index.php?topic=5575.0).
First off, don't beat yourself up. Relapses happen. Quitting this thing is harder than it seems.
Second, I notice I get cranky when I stop jacking it. Then recently, the realization hit that I'm essentially going through withdrawal. I had a relapse recently and found myself getting angry at my wife for basically not being a fake, airbrushed porn star.
However, after about four days, the brain starts to rewire and the feeling goes away.
So...if you can make it past the first few days, it's pretty much down hill from there.
Stay strong!
