12 No treats for me today, embarking upon a diet trying to stay away from all the good stuff

Thank you all of you. For the constant support and the incessant competitive spirit on Chicks and Sticks, for the articles that somehow have come at the right time when I was grappling with a question regarding my quit. I intend to celebrate by renewing my commitment to myself, as a reminder that times will continue to be tough, but picking up a cigarette won't help solve problems ever. Thank you!!!

13 Thank you my friends, it is indeed amazing. Thank you

14 Morning all

Congratulations Kermit, amazing effort. Kudos on a great quilt.

4 Eyupp, that's my parting salvo, Now it's upto the chicks... Night all!

4 Yes I intend to enjoy tomorrow, or rather today, since it's already Sunday. Going for Christopher Robin. Have a beautiful Sunday Slippy...see you on the other side of the weekend... (or maybe if I login tomorrow)

3 Hey Slip, Guilty as charged, but I try to stay away from electronic devices (to the extent possible) during weekends, except a little bit of netflix, for which I use my phone mostly. And I absolutely abhor typing on the phone, it's a pain. Hence I typically don't login on weekends, but the last couple of days have not necessarily been typical. So thought I should check in. Hope all's well at your end.

This post came at a very very apt time @Doreensfree, my heartfelt thanks for it. I don't necessarily want to term my quit as anything, but that then makes it absolutely a good fit for "no man's land". Considering the stress at work nowadays (and I know who doesn't have stress at work), but the stress of asking people to walk out after giving years of their life to a place, is quite disturbing. This makes you examine whether your brain and your heart even sync up anymore. Anywho, so on the back of those 'existential' questions, the past couple of days I've had way too many urges to smoke one...and I've had multiple opportunities. I don't know why I haven't picked one up yet, myriad reasons, all of the amazing support on this forum being one of them, sometimes, the sheer "weakness" of my mind being one of them. As I write this, it's 1.30 AM in Mumbai, and I can picture myself out on my balcony, in the olden days, having a smoke. Rushing in, brushing my teeth and spraying some air-freshener, in case my mum walks in (yes I do live with my mother, as is quite common in India). Then I now open the window, step out on to the balcony and just stand there, smelling the fresh air and realize I can't solve that problem with a smoke. These minute by minute reminders and reinforcements that smoking won't change a thing are what's getting me by, and now, this topic and post that you shared only adds to my fragile determination (paradoxical term, I know). But thank you once again, and sorry for all the rambling. Thanks to all of you for ensuring people like me don't give up.
