Congratulations: So glad to hear that you are smoke free! Please get checked by a doc. Don't let it become a conscious or unconscious way to slip back into your old habit. You are getting better with each passing day. Peace and good health! Eventually your body won't need smoking to feel normal. Now it is still confused and thinks it does.

Therapy/Meds: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression from withdrawal is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
