What can I do?

Question

I quit smoking almost 7 months ago, and am currently 23 weeks. This month has been extremely stressful and I’m physically and mentally exhausted at this point. All I want is that temporary relief of a cigarette, 
I need some tips on what to do to, what do some of you mamas do to stay quit during stressful times?

Answer

I think of my unborn child and how much more important she is than my silly cigarette craving. Mind over matter.

Answer

Just remember it won't be worth worrying if your baby is gonna be okay after. Heaven forbid anything bad should happen, you're always gonna wonder if you never had that cigarette. This happened to my friend, and she said it wasn't worth it. She still cries and wonders if she hurt her baby 6 months later (heart and lungs problems).

Answer

I'm right there with you I do think of my son and also I think that temporary relief has long term effects. It's hard not matter what though you just gotta try to push through those urges.

Answer

You could have a sucker. The hand to mouth might trick your brain into b thinking you're smoking

Answer

I do something active. Preferably something that makes me somewhat out of breath or my muscles kinda achy, like hike up a hill. Otherwise simple monotonous things like dishes or cleaning help too.
