I've been rewatching the show, and the last episode I watched really struck a chord with me ("Over", s. 2 ep. 10). It's right after he and his family get the results from his first round of chemo and find out that his tumor shrunk by 80%. The next morning, Skylar tucks him into bed, kisses him and seems like she truly loves him (for the first time in a while at this point). He has a stack of books, the love and relief of his family, and the whole day off. It really seems like if he just quit everything that day, his life would have gone back to normal. And what does he do? Relax for about 2 seconds, throw the books across the bed and call Jesse. He seems so bored and disgusted with the mundane of his 'old life' at this moment, and I think it shows how much he changed.
I think this is where we really see how much he truly loves what he does and who Heisenberg is. People say it comes later on, with his iconic phrases and stuff ("stay out of my territory") but I really think that this moment is basically the turning point of the whole series and definitely doesn't get enough attention.
