I can't tell you how many times I've quit - or more appropriately - tried to quit. I've been smoking for 35 years - as close as I can figure - and I'm now 52. I'm fifty-flippin-two years old and I've pretty much had a fag in my hand or hanging from my mouth for my entire life. How stupid is that? And no matter how hard I tried to quit - no matter how stupid it was - no matter that I had two young kids that needed their mum to look after them...it just didn't matter enough...

Addiction is a tricky thing. It stalks you mercilessly and then just when you think you've given it the slip, it will jump out from behind a sofa at a party. I wouldn't dream of comparing the different addictions out there - but suffice it to say that nicotine is mine. And now - at 52, I can barely breathe, I've got two 7 year olds and two lumpy boobs, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and this is my last chance to make a change in my life. I've tried endlessly to do this - but I think if there are people out there in this world who offer me some feedback and a wee tad of support - this might be the way I do it. I'm going to try my very hardest...very very hardest to walk away from those dreadful things and change my life positively.... And I'm kind of funny every now and then so it might actually be enjoyable to read.....
