Calling all Elders

I've got a question for you wonderful people.  I've noticed over the past month or so (I'm now almost 9 months into my quit) that some family members are expressing concern because I'm not very active in things.  I'm pretty secure in my quit and still have moments hither and yon where I simply am not feeling up to being around people.  Not often, but every so often.  I think I'm more analytical now because I think it's more important to understand why I did things the way I used to and then just move along.  Did any of you ever have that experience with family members?  Some thinking that you need medication to make this go easier or make you less withdrawn?  Most of my family never knew me as a nonsmoker/nondrinker before ever.  Just curious if any of you ever ran into this.  Any insight would be appreciated.

Never be afraid or embarrassed about your "smoking thoughts" while quitting, they're there to remind us how strong we truly can be. Always remember, you will always WANT to smoke, but you have to CHOOSE not to. We can't break the ties that bind us without first changing the cycle that created it.
