Take a deep breath! Re: Medical bills, send what ever you can afford each month even if its only $5.00 Money in general can be an on going problem but buying a pack will only send the money to a place you are trying to avoid 😞 You can do this and are on the right track by asking for help first!! We are all here for you!!

Hang in there!  So glad you blogged.   That's what I should have done on Sunday instead of lighting up.  It's no fun starting over.

Cmon now. You've just started.

Don't be overtaken by an urge.

Bills will always be there. You are learning that you can't hide behind a cigarette.

Hang on tight! By the way: How would spending money of an addiction ease your financial issues? Doesn't make sense does it! You are too smart for that!

It will pass!!!  The medical bills will certainly only keep coming if you still smoke!

Hang in there ,you are stronger than the cravings say that a few times, that you are stronger than any craving and that you don't smoke anymore.  You can and will succeed in your quit but you must be willing to go through a few rough patches to get through to the other side and be happy with your quit.

Oh yeah.... I looked you are just starting and yes, I agree with you the cravings really sucked and it seemed really difficult not to "want" to smoke.... but no .. the trick is to make it through each crave.. and suddenly realize you made it... and then the next and you made it till one day you say WOW ... I really don't have to smoke.
