My quit journey

I started wit the challenge in March but was travelling by road Qld-WA with stops along the way visiting family & friends and having a smoker companion. Needless to say that didn't go well. 
I arrived in Perth to my pregnant daughter & grandkids both under 3yrs & having to find work which was very stressful trying to manage. Overwhelmed with technology & job hunting & moving house I decided to put off my plan until things settled down a bit. 
I am still trying & have cut down substantially by trying to keep busy & mind occupied which is constant.  My mental health is playing havoc with me at the moment so I'm walking a lot which helps a bit. I am determined to keep trying for the sake of my family & cost not to mention the feeling of being an outcast when around others. I just have to change some habits that have been there for 45+years.
