There’s too much going on at the moment for me to focus on quitting but I still want to continue my journey. I’m deferring the date to when I’m on my own & can focus on the task.

Hi Jacqs,

 

Thanks for sharing where you're at. It sounds like there's a lot going on for you right now, and it makes sense that focusing on quitting might feel overwhelming at the moment. Taking the time to recognise what you need and adjusting your plan is actually a really thoughtful way to approach your quit journey.

Many people find that life stress can make quitting harder, so giving yourself space until you feel more able to focus is completely understandable. The important thing is you are still thinking about your quitting journey and haven't lost sight of your goal. 

If it would help, you are very welcome to reach out to quitline for support in the meantime. Our counsellors can talk through what's going on for you, or just provide some encouragement while things feel busy and stressful.

You can contact Quitline on 13 78 48 whenever it suits you. We're here to support you at whatever stage you're in. 

Take care and thanks for being part of the community!
