 GM, it’s official Off-tober now.

I try to use each October to try to get my shit together a little more than the month before.

This offtober I’m gonna try to get ‘off’ cigarettes for the month, and ‘off’ my ass to work out everyday. 

We will see how it goes, but I’m setting the intention here and now, and will revisit next month to see how I do. 
 You can do it. 
 Nice idea. I need to think about something to 'off later today 
 cheering 4u 
 'Off' topic but... I like pumpkins. 
 I thought it's October, where you do 8 x everything? 
 Maybe post a note each day on how it goes?  
 I've quit nicotine for a month now. And it doesn't look like I'll be going back. I smoked cigarettes and used dip from the ages 18-28 and transitioned to vaping for a few years. 

A lot easier to quit the nicotine vape......the stuff probably has less addictive chemicals in it. 

Good luck man!

 
 I may do that, as I’ve found the pivot from vape to nothing has been easier in the past when I have quit for a bit 
 Good luck! I have to give up cigarettes again too.

But I need another week, just to get my head right 😀 
 Good luck. Any plans for alcohol moderation or not required? 
 Take all the cigs you stocked up and give them away or burn them in a bonfire. 

Then you will triumph.

If you have friends who smoke.
Take a two year hiatus from them.

Don't drink alcohol for two years.

If your spouse is a smoker and does not share your commitment, then your odds are bad. 
 let’s go! endorphins incoming! 
 There are a few good healthy nicotine alternatives. Still, it's great to practice fasting regularly to learn to control your desires. This is everything from drugs, to food, to social media.
