My wife got upset with me on a very difficult day at work
And what, in your mind, would a cigarette help you with? What positive would it bring? Would it make your wife less upset or your work day any easier?

I feel like itll help my mood
It would make her mad but my workday easier i believe
It will not. It will make you feel like a failure because you will have smoked after 162 days. What will make you feel better is to address the stuff that causes your problems. Why is your wife upset with you and what can you do about it? I’m sure she won’t be happy with you because you’ll have smoked. And how to improve your work day? It won’t be by smoking.

You’re an addict like us all. Giving in to our addictions will make everything worse. Always. I’m reminded of a guy here who recently celebrated his 90 days of sobriety by using a gram of fentanyl and 3 grams of crystal meth. Addiction’s logic.

@mno Menno has given some great advice. I hear that u had a rough day and that ur wife is upset. Im sorry ur feeling this way 
Smoking WILL make things worse. Remind urself of why u quit in the first place. What were ur reasons? Id love to hear them.
How u are feeling WILL pass friend. Take a deep breath, and another one. Pause for a second and dont react. Dont make a big decision (like having a smoke) based on temporary emotions. You have come SO far! Dont let ur emotions have that kind of power over you, to where u break ur streak.

Yesterday me sbf my wife got into a fight over a dirty coffee pot. She thought it was dirty, i thought it was fine
Then at work my normal routien was tough because the night be4 was behind
Right after
i got asked to go outside to do grocery carts on a cold rainy day (not my job, someone called in late) and i was way under dressed
Then i had to clean upba blood spill
Then
The coffee at work was made like dark water
Then i tried going home early and the whole family got mad at me
I cried infrunt of my grampa in law

Heyy moon woman. 
I thought id show how this place can be used to the new people and people who may feel the urge to relaps on any form of addiction
I never picked up a cigg by the way and am now 644 days completely nic free
I wanted to shere my reasons to quit
I quit for my health, new lifestyle, my wife, my boy, to smell better, better self esteem, save money, good relationships with inlaws, my goals, and safety from a burning ash or over burning a vape by accident.
644 days in
Still have thoughts but i let them go with ease. No withdrawal, no tough thought process on staying away; just letting the thought go
After withdrawal from quitting smoking and vaping THEN withdrawal from the nicotine replacement (nic gum, nic patches, nic loszenge) and seeing how much money i spent on ciggs, vapes and especially nic replacement i can hounestly say WILL NOT EVER PICK UP NIC
