Hi Annie,
I'm so sorry about the loss of your mother...this has to be a really difficult time for you at the one year anniversary.
I'm new at this too, going into my third week and I have been struggling a little more lately, too. But I don't think it's your PMT/S or your mother's anniversary necessarily causing the cravings but the fact that you (and I and everyone else who recently quit) are newly going through these experiences without using our addiction as a crutch. So it's an adjustment period. We aren't used to dealing with stress and life's difficulties without smoking...
I know there are a lot of helpful articles on here, but I read this one the other night and it made a ton of sense...
Recognizing needs
Maybe reading some of the threads in the CRAVE section of the message boards would help, too.
But just remember, taking a puff now means taking them ALL and will it help you with PMT/S or with the loss of your mother?
Sue
