Congratulations...its a big step.
Warn your hubby that you are feeling grumpy and can he please just leave you alone or whatever you need him to do. That way it hopefully wont end up in an argument.
This anxiety and moodiness will go away in about a week or two. You are doing really well. Why not grab a water bottle and go for a walk as that will get your mind off whatever is troubling you. I chewed sugarfree gum instead of that nicotine one -cos thats really expensive.
I quit 3 years ago and I am so happy I did.
Well done...keep up the good work!
This is not an uncommon situation.

Normal, especially the first few days.
When you have a craving, sip on some water and hum a song. Sounds funny, but it does help. Go for a quick walk before he comes home to let off some steam.
