Tempted to go back to smoking

I need some advice…

Things have just been unbelievably stressful at this stage in life. I’ve got two young kids, aged 2 and 4. One is in preschool for three hours per day and the other I have full time .

I don’t get to do a lot by myself as my partner works 60 hrs per week and mostly travels except for once a month where they WFH.

I used to smoke hand-rolled cigarettes, but stopped when I got pregnant with my first and haven’t touched it since then, but I’m just so alone and stressed and unemotionally connected or connected with my partner in any way right now. I just need a breather and to take a break.

I don’t like smoking because I take my health serious; plus it’s an extra expense, and it smells bad and sticks to everything.

I just need some advice here; feels like I’m officially drowning in it all.

TIA.
