I just did a search on the main forums and it turns out Stoptober is only a quit smoking thing in the UK, the americans seem to use it like lent!

So, anyway...is anyone Stoptober-ing?

It's my first day and typing this is giving my hands something to do. I may have to take up knitting/juggling/incessant knuckle cracking.

    Hiya,

    Yep, I'm Sptobtober-ing. I'm using an e-cig and my first day is going well - it's keeping my hands busy as well as stopping the cravngs!! Off to the gym this evening, that will help I'm sure.
    Good luck :drinker:

    There is also a Go Sober for October campaign running:

    Yep, I'm using an e-cig as well. I did break last night and have two, I'm trying not to let that destroy the whole thing. Two in a day is still better than I've managed in a long time I guess :/

    Good luck at Cazco29!

    and a massive well done to Runningcat76 for being smoke-free!

    There was a thread also on MFP, about giving up scales for October. (Not weighing yourself until November 1st.)

    I thought about doing it, then weighed myself this morning. :noway: haha.
