10 days smoke free, really getting hard now.

It's 3am here, and I'm really having trouble fighiting off the urge to smoke. For me day 2 had been the worst, but it had been pretty much smooth smailing up till now. Sure, the occational craving would strike, stressful situations, etc but it hasn't been like this since day 2. None of my go to things are working right now. Chewing gum, watching a show, going outside, drinking water, etc. I'm not going to smoke. I'm too determined and each day I rack up helps keep me from doing it. but the craving wont go away. It's non stop. I thought they were suppose to not last more than a couple minutes? This one has been over half an hour straight, and just this one. Not counting the rest of today. I can't even go to bed to end it because my disabled son is up and he's not going back to bed any time soon. There is a 24 hour gas station right behind my house. I can see it out my window right now and it's like its calling me to come buy a pack. But the funny thing is I won't. Not because I really feel I can withstand the pressure on my own, but because everyone knows I quit and they're so proud of me and it makes me want to cry just thinking about disapointing them all. I've gained so much weight this past 10 days. 8 pounds so far 😞 I can't stop eating. Each day I wake up saying I'll do better about my food intake, but it doesn't last long and I'm already over my calorie budget by lunch. I had been doing well losing weight, I was down 29 pounds, but I used cigarettes to help. I'd smoke when appetite kicked it. Now I'm eating to keep from smoking and drinking water and other suggested things arn't helping with that either.
