The point about the first week being scary because you didn't connect the symptoms to nicotine withdrawal really stands out. It makes sense that a brain hunting for a reason would settle on anything but the obvious one. Your week-by-week breakdown is useful too, especially the wave pattern in week two and the mini-saga at week four, since that matches what others here describe but rarely map out so plainly. Also good to hear the cliché advice actually holds up when you were skeptical going in.

The leftover Chinese in a tortilla is a clever move, though I'd worry about it going soggy on the press. Did you warm the filling separately first? The black bean cheat bottle doesn't bother me either; sometimes the shortcut is what gets dinner on the table. Sorry about the shoulder, patting yourself on the back is a risky sport. I'm curious whether the sous vide chicken stayed moist once it hit the hot pan with the veg.
