Having second thoughts about staying quit

It's been over a month now since I quit cold turkey, and I'm sitting here on the couch thinking about starting again. I know that may sound crazy, but here's why. For the first week or so, I was really moody. But then I seemed to be ok, and I was encouraged by the fact that I had quit. But every evening after dinner I still wanted to smoke--even now. 

But the big problem I'm having is that I just don't feel like myself these days. I feel like I have a dim view of the world, I'm not excited about much, and it even feels like my personality has changed. My marriage has been going down hill since I quit, maybe because I'm grumpy. I know this all pretty vague, but has anyone else experienced this? If so does it ever get better? I guess I'd rather be happier and die sooner than live a long and depressing life (kind of joking there).
