Give and get support around quitting
Its day 3 and it was going great until the moment I realized I'm a good $200 short on bills this month. I apparently did my math wrong and already sent out checks. So I have to borrow money from my step kids. Thank God for their Christmas and Birthday money or I'd be in way over my head. All I can think of is wishing I could smoke to relieve just a little bit of my stress. But I'm telling myself I dont do that anymore. Just a rough moment. I will make it through this, I know I will.
Congrats on day 3. These are the perfect times to reach and share your feelings. It does help us to keep our resolve. If it's any consolation, at least your don't need money for cigarettes. Keep moving forward.

You will make it through this. Smoking is something that you do not do anymore.
Also, smoking will not relieve stress. It will make you physically more stressed and you will hate that you threw away your quit. You don't need the smokes.
Keep up the great work and congratulations on day 3.
Be STRONG! You can do IT!
Buying smokes will only cause you to have LESS $$.

I did the exact same thing last month. Forgot about an automatic payment coming out & was$98 overdrawn.
Only thing I could do was get a stupid payday loan. Ugh... those people are just crooks but was cheaper than an insufficient fee.
Apparently I can't subtract in my head.
