Someone to Talk to About Smoking

...read more

Smoking is often more than just a habit - it can be a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, or routine. Many people struggle with the decision to quit, feeling torn between the temporary relief smoking provides and the long-term health risks it poses.

Quitting smoking is a journey, and setbacks are a natural part of the process. Understanding triggers, developing healthier alternatives, and seeking support can help you break free from dependency.

At 7 Cups, we’re here to support you without judgment. Whether you’re thinking about quitting or just need to talk, you are not alone in this journey.

Hii! Welcome to my profile! 👋🏻 I'm glad you're here! 💖 I am Luminity or Lumi for short. ✨ ------------------------- A bit about me: •I am a sixteen year old girl (turning 17 on September 25th!) from India. 🇮🇳 •I can speak English and Hindi. 💬 •I am currently in grade 12th and a NEET aspirant (looking forward to being a doctor- Cardiac Surgeon!)👩🏻‍⚕ •I enjoy- Reading 📖 Writing 📝 Baking 🧁 Playing the guitar (learning) 🎸 Spending time with my dog 🐕 Helping people 💕 Listening here on 7 Cups 💖 ------------------------- ❓What can I help with? I don't mind discussing any issues with you, but here are some I have been through myself and might be more helpful with: •Loneliness👤 •Depression😔 •Self- harm🩹 •Student life👩🏻‍🎓 •Exercise motivation or body image struggle💪🏻 I will try my best to provide a judgement-free space where you can pour out your thoughts.❤‍🩹 However, please keep in mind- * Only expect replies when the dot on my profile is green, or delayed replies when it is orange.  * As a listener, I cannot give advice.  * Listeners are not therapists. We are volunteers who are here to help you and be there for you. 💖 ------------------------- ❓When can you message me? Anytime! I mean that. Just drop a message whenever you feel like it. I might not reply immediately, but I will reply as soon as I come online next time. ------------------------- ❓What do the dots mean? 🟢- green dot means I am online and ready to talk to you! 🟠- orange dot means I am online but with a member currently. I will most likely see your message, but my response may be delayed. 🔴- red dot means I am offline or not available to talk right now. You can still leave a message which I can see later! But please, do not expect an immediate reply in this case. ❗Sometimes I might forget to change my status from green to red/orange even when I'm not available. I apologize for that in advance. If you do not get a response from me within five-ten minutes, it's likely I am offline. In that case, my response can be delayed for upto a week sometimes, but not always.  ------------------------- Lots of hugs for you!!! 🫂🫂🫂 Thanks for reading! You are amazing! 💖 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Announcement 📢 I am keeping busy these days, so please don't expect immediate replies from me. I will keep coming online every few days to reply to my messages, but I might not be engaging in chats much. Every Wednesday, 4:30-6:15pm IST, I have time for chats (usually). Till then, feel free to reach out to any of the other amazing listeners out there. If you need a recommendation, @cheerfulKiwi1776 is one of the best listeners I know. Hang in there you all. Take care! 💖
