My name is Joanne, and I guess if we were in an addictions anonymous meeting right now I would be telling you that I’m an addict. For the past 15 years of my life, I have lit up at least 20 cigarettes a day without fail.

First thing in the morning, last thing at night, when I’m ill with flu or when I’m watching my children’s school play – It doesn’t matter when or where – My nicotine fix is pretty much always forefront of my mind. Looking out for exits so I can sneak outside for a few puffs!

However I have decided that enough is enough. Spending a fortune on cigarettes is no longer for me, I want to be a non smoker, I want to smell of perfume and not reek of stale cigarette smoke! I’m not saying it’s going to be easy but I’m going to give it a try…
