Moss, I'm glad you found these posts helpful. And much of what you're experiencing now; what so many of us experience as we embark on this new smoke-free life... can be made less confusing if we talk to people who have been down that road.
I smoked for 36 years... so you can bet that quitting, and reframing/reforming my life... in countless small ways, was an emotional challenge. Not everyone experiences it that way, but I believe that most people are very aware of emotional turmoil happening in them as they adopt a nonsmokers approach to living.
Keep living in the solution, Moss. 156 days is a whale of a good start, and your comfort level with being a nonsmoker has likely become noticeable now. Keep on the track and slowly, you will arrive at a place where smoking is seldom more than a passing thought.
You're doing very well!! :)
