Long story short:

I'm trying to quit smoking and every little thing around here that can go wrong is going wrong. Nothing is monumentally or life-alteringly awful, it's just a snowball of Murphy's Law combined with raging nicotine cravings I can't always deny. Which in turn makes me feel guilty and miserable and like a failure. Which triggers the craving for nicotine which I try and deny and that makes me feel angry and frustrated and ready to crawl out of my skin.

And I'm trying not to freak out about PCC being in two weeks and having so much still needed to do, or the fact that I haven't heard from husband_brother since Friday or the fact that my parents keep legitimately fighting with each other.

Essentially, I am unfit even for discourse 'tween man nor beast.

Oh man...I almost wish I had that problem, because then the Kevin Smith plan would work for me. It's helped me cut down on smoking, but I still have nicotine cravings. :( And also...well...weed is just too expensive to have a joint every time I crave a cigarette. (Not to mention I'd probably epically fail at life and get nothing done if I was constantly high.)

Have you thought about trying herbal cigarettes? I have a friend who was able to quit doing that - satisfying the motions of going through smoking but smoking something healthier than a tobacco cigarette, and then weaning that down.

I'm not sure where I can get those here : / One of my friend tried the electronic cigarettes and said that didn't work LOL. He said it made him smoke more O_o;;;

I make my own herbal smokes, and the local groceries and stuff have roll-your-own supplies. I have a little machine that I put the spearmint and mullein in and it stuffs a cigarette tube. :D

Yeah, I've not heard much good about the electronic thing. :/
