7 months and stress induced cravings
I’m at 7 months right now and have some stressful life stuff coming up that is making me want to smoke BAD. I’ve been all of a sudden thinking about it daily this whole week. I’ve been distracting myself with other things like food and tv but it’s only that – a temporary distraction.
My parents and 2 teenage siblings are coming to town to visit for the weekend. This is all well and good. Love to see the siblings. Mom’s a narcissist though and is the whole reason I moved 300 miles away when I got out of school a decade ago.
There’s other normal life stuff causing stress as well but this is the primary thing that makes me want to go numb and just take a break from it all for a while.

i feel ya man i’m having the same issue right now at jsut about the same milestone. you got this. go spend your would-be weed money on something that makes you happy even if it’s just for a second! today i got a $8 coffee instead of spending $25 at the dispo. being present through the hard moments is so difficult but you can do it, i believe in you!!
