Today so far has been an awesome day.

I passed the driving theory test in England.. I had already passed the theory test in Ireland.. but never got to take the practical before I moved back to England and due to the way things work I couldn't just take the practical here.. even though I had already passed a theory test! So now I have to book some lessons in preparation for the practical.. which I'm kinda worried and yet excited about at the same time.

Even though I had to come into work right after I had taken the test, it still didn't put a dampener on my day.. and even though I'm still at work now, it ain't no thang.. looking forwards to going home, having some excellent home-cooked food and having a celebratory sleep.

I just thought.. and the best thing about passing the theory test today, is that I can get back to playing HotS and D3 instead of taking mock tests ^^

On top of that.. the National Health Service is running a campaign in October to help people quit smoking it's called Stoptober, so I decided that after .. too many years smoking that it was time to quit properly! I'm kinda anxious about it but looking forwards to reaping the rewards of joining the non-smokers.

If you have any advice on fighting the cravings, feel free to throw it at me!

Just had to share

Don't have any cigarettes around. If you have to take a 30 minute walk to go buy cigarettes instead of just light one, short term impulses won't have as much of an effect.

If you find yourself in a store with a craving to buy cigarettes, buy something else instead. Follow this rule, and never break it. Buy a sandwhich, chocolate, a drink, whatever.
If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid* (*Or: You are stupid for losing to it, and gotta git gud)

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to rid our place of all smoking paraphernalia!

It will also help a ton that my partner doesn't smoke... And that we work in the same company, though different departments.

depending on what kind of a person you are the other way around may actually make it easier. As in always having cigarettes around, knowing you could if you actually wanted, but knowing your mind in stronger than that you won't make any use of it. But it reduces the bad craving for some people.

Why do Brits hold onto their name so much ? You don't live in England you live in the UK. England and Scotland are not sovereign nations anymore. Stop acting like they are.

@LML Thanks for posting, I think I would forget that I was stopping and just smoke them! I'm going to need a direct split from them I think!

@Jacobe Most of the Scottish people I know would scream blue murder if you tried to tell them they were from the United Kingdom and not from Scotland! As for me, I have grown up with everyone around me calling it England. The people are either called British or English, but mostly people here would say English.. even the football(soccer) team is called England. Though I have no idea why that could be! Personally, I don't mind either way! Thanks for reading.
