THANK YOU
Congratulations in making it through last night Lil!
Now about that 10 day reward...? Seriously, do not neglect the rewards side of quitting, not if you want to get your brain chemistry back to normal as quickly as possible. The science is out there, as well as the testimonials of millions of succesful quitters. Nicotine used to occupy your dopamine receptors, therefore your body produced less dopamine, now you need to boost it up again, the simplest way is by rewarding yourself often.
A few natural things that help with boosting dopamine - broad beans (fava beans in US) contain L-dopa. Also foods high in Tyramine will probably help too - aged cheeses and meats (like cured ham) red wine, in moderation
soy sauce, chocolate, also in moderation
As to your severe niceness symptoms, sorry, nothing we can do about that, one of the side effects of this web site I'm afraid!
Keep up the good work, you've done hell week, you are half way through heck week (when craves aren't continuous, but come out of nowhere when they hit) next week is blah week when you'll probably feel very flat and a bit miserable (you might be verging on that now, these 'weeks' aren't exact for everyone) then after that most people have a period of temptation, where the worst seems to be over and they wonder if they couldn't have "just one" - the answer is that they can't, otherwise they'll be back to square one again!

It's been an amazing four years. 
In my rush to post this morning (in still slightly asleep mode) I didn't spot Lolly's post further down the page.
I'd asked for the new thread I started to be deleted, instead the post I'd made on this thread disappeared. 
So I'll post here again:
It's been an amazing four years.
