[Quit2017]

So if you look at my posts, I have definitely tried and failed. I originally joined this website in 2016 and then became quit 2017 ... I didn't change my name after that. It has taken till this summer of 2019 to finally become the Quitter I wanted to be.

It's funny reading the posts back as I have made a lot of changes to my life, and still not made some changes that I need to.

But I have made one change that really matters. Finally.

I have a vape and have not really used it much in the last three weeks. I drink a lot more water. I have been out socially and to festivals and this has not been a problem. A friend was offered a cigarette and I could easily have asked for one too, but because I wasn't offered I made sure not to be that person that quits the quitting.

I will say at 9 weeks it feels like an eternity. In a good way. It feels like I didn't do it. I've been tested by people who let you down and this has not put me off either. Close but grabbed my vape for that evening.

My true test comes next week, having quit just before the end of the school term, and had the holidays to relax. I now have to negotiate the stresses of teaching again - I am hopeful though that the habit has been well and truly broken and I can turn that 9 into 12 weeks.

Keep going and never stop quitting this is the best I've done so far x
