Day to Day Office

a deputy manager
I quit cigarettes and now I can't focus in Office!
So I had this daily habit of coming to office, unpacking my bag and then going for a smoke first thing in the morning.
Only after having a "choti advance" I could start my work.
But recently, I quit smoking (multiple personal reasons behind that), but now I have nothing to do in morning.
I mean I have this habit of going for a small break before starting my work, but now I don't have anywhere to go.
Even going downstairs for a break is risky because I might end up smoking.
So, now here I am, sitting on a Monday morning,
trying to focus on work, but craving for a smoke already!

Cigerette is disgusting. And this is coming from a former addict. The hit only lasts few minutes or hours and then you crave it again. Imagine how it makes you feel after, it makes you smell bad, you cough, you feel out of breath just after walking a little. It surpresses your hunger. There's a book called "Easy way to quit smoking illustrated" . When I had read the book for the first time I quit it for long even though I had no intention of quitting at that moment. I threw out my ash trays and lighters. The whole idea of that book is that you can keep smoking it while you're reading the book. And only quit when you feel like it, give it a try what's there to lose

Do WFH and be in a room for atleast 5 days , drink plenty of water . Try not to go on the same path where you use to smoke.

All Iām saying is,, why hold back from smoking if itās something you enjoy? Itās not like that alone is gonna kill you. There are way worse things out there. So donāt be too hard on yourself. Just love what you do and do what you love.
