"His life seemed to be falling into place, and his inner anger had long since been ________."
At first, I was thinking of words that would be used when you're saying a fire was put out, like doused or extinguised, but it didn't sound right. I'm looking for a word that would give the same feeling as the word "comforted".

How about ?
"His life seemed to be falling into place, and his inner anger had long since been appeased / assuaged / calmed / soothed etc. "

Squelched? Diffused? Snuffed? Exhausted? Diminished? Laid to rest?
or if you remove the word "been":
died out, faded, disappeared, passed.

abated. Indicating that his anger had diminshed over a period of time, this does not mean there was frustration and can indicate that there was comfort.

take out "been" and use something like "subsided" "diminished" "dissipated"
