trying SO hard not to relapse

This is a bit of a rant :/

I want a cigarette so friggin' bad, and I haven't had one in so long but I'm so stressed out right now. Yesterday, my sister decided to leave her abusive husband, so her and my nephew are now living with us. And today, we get a knock on the door from where my brother decided to leave his wife because "she's getting fat"...so we have a full house. It is so loud in here, my son hasn't really moved all day I guess from all the commotion, and you have people screaming every which way you turn at each other. Not to mention that I usually go to sleep around 9, and that was 3 hours ago so I'm tired, irritable, and just flat out grumpy. Before I was pregnant, I would go on a drive to clear my head, but that was also when I smoked, and EVERYONE knows what smokers do when they drive...they smoke. So now I'm sitting here literally biting all my nails off from where my nerves are so wrecked, and I just want a cigarette so bad. Ugh.

End of rant :(

So did u smoke menthol or no? i smoked menthols & when i feel as if i need one, i get  those mint life savers (the green bag) and my hubby did the regular lifesavers. It has helped us both. But do remember, u need to calm down, you being so shook up not good for either of u. Hubby also used toothpicks or straws too.

I know, I want one, but I'd feel so bad because I've done so great this whole time. And my mom would KILL me.
