It Stops Here

I've been smoking socially since I was about 16. I have spent all this time telling myself I am not a smoker and that I just have one now and again. But it's becoming impossible to continue to pull the wool over my eyes anymore! I'm fed up of the smell, of the taste and the feeling of deep shame when I walk in the house and smell it on my hands. NO MORE. It ends here. Thank you for all your comments, it's really supportive :) Keep going!

Yes without realising I had done the same only 32 years later to realise I’m addicted and a smoker. It was a rude awakening and I’m ashamed of myself. I feel stupid cancer and diabetes were not enough to stop me years ago
