So glad the tide is changing for you. just read this thread from start to finish. I'm in a similar boat, after 8 months, multiple interviews, trying to maintain myself. This gives me hope

Having something, anything, regardless of how small... It's these things that make life worth living. Without anything to look forward to, life loses its flavor.

Hang in there! Things WILL improve!
I am glad you have found comfort in your pipes and a forum of people to cheer you on.
I too picked up the pipe as a stress reliever. The ritual of packing and lighting. The constant feedback loop of a scalded tongue to remind me to slow down. The hours I have spent researching blends and reading these forums have been excellent therapy. It has taken my mind off of things I am happy to forget and helped me to center myself. Please if you have not already, look into breath smoking. For me the rhythm and cadence quickly takes my thoughts and turns them off.
I wish you the best.
