Stoptober – How is it going for you?

October is now re-branded as Stoptober and the month dedicated to stop smoking or vaping.  Making healthier choices sounds easy until it comes to following through on those promises.

Are you participating in Stoptober?  How are you getting on now that we are 17 days in?  It’s only two and a half weeks, but feels like a lifetime when you are craving something.
