No I am not giving up riding or feeling suicidal!!

I have finally decided that I am giving up smoking.

I've worked out that I have been a smoker for at least 24 years (yes I started young) and have tried to give up a couple of times before but never been fully committed if i am honest.

As I am away with work at the moment I thought it would be the perfect opportunity so I went to the Medical Centre yesterday and got myself some patches and a little plastic inhalator thing.

I know that I don't enjoy smoking and it is just a habit and most of the time it is boredom at work so i get out the office (regularly) to get away from the phone/computer/people.

My daughter always has a go at me as well for smoking and she is 8 years old.

Hopefully by the time i return home in 6 weeks i will be a non smoker!!
