Safe travels... crank the tunes. its going on 1am here.

France played abysmally clumsy football, but managed to win...well, luck won't get them too far...Croatia decimated Argentina (I do feel bad for Messi). 

Lot of teams to watch out for...

Wow, thank you everyone for such lovely messages, so great to know so many people are rooting for you. Thank you for the encouragement, really helps.

Nope, not a Ronaldo fan he seems a bit of a wanker... I have an uncle and cousin who were Portugese until they became Australians... When my uncle married my aunty and his son moved to Australia with him... soft spot created.

Aah, that's quite a lovely reason to have a soft spot  

I'm about to head home for the evening (8.20 PM here in Mumbai, and raining, gonna be a good drive home), and then it's on to the telly for the France match.

Belgium is my tip to win. But I'm all in on the Aussies while we last and I have a soft spot for Portugal. The French annoyed me with all their fainting goat style diving the other night.

A soft spot for Portugal doesn't mean a soft spot for Ronaldo I hope, he's talented, but a sore loser...

France and Germany are the teams I'm supporting, but Belgium seems good too...

Yes, I agree @babs609, I'm just a day into my quit, and my brain is compartmentalized, with the yays and the nays... 

All I keep telling myself is if you can't keep a promise to yourself, what's the point of anything...

Wow, 7 months, quite an amazing achievement, Congratulations @WeegieWoman, great going.

Hoping to emulate you in well, 7 months.

Thanks @Sslip , @notsmokinjo , @weegiewoman Messages like these help, because yes I have quit before, and fallen before, but I got to a point where I realized that the only one I'm fooling is myself, by saying since I have reduced, I have control over the habit. It is the other way around.

Winding up my day at work, it's taking everything I have not to have the perfunctory end of day smoke and tea in the restaurant downstairs. I did just go down for a walk, because that helps, but found that I really wanted to go there, then thought I'd come up and check if there are any other posts I can read...and here I am.

So yes, one craving at a time...I intend to succeed this time around. And with your support, I'm sure I shall.

Hi TKS and welcome... congratulations on making the decision to quit and you've done that first 24 hours.

Thanks for the shoutout Jo,

Taking it one hour, one day at a time...

NOPE...

Not today, not ever.

So far, what's helped me is going for a walk, each time I have a craving, my craving is mostly at work, since that's where I smoked.

So I just go for a walk, and listen to some podcasts while I'm at it.

Has helped so far.

Hi Everyone,

This is Tammy from Mumbai, India.

This will be my third attempt to quit. The longest I had quit and stayed quit was 3 months around a year ago.

Since then been on and off, though my number of smokes reduced significantly.

Just before deciding to kick the stick yesterday i.e. 20th Jun 2018, I was having maybe 3-4 a day. Yes I know, nothing to gloat about.

So this time around I am intending to stick to this, and hoping this forum will help me stay focused.

Good luck to everyone on their quit journey.
