I smoked from the age of 13 and quit aged 30. At my worst I smoked 60 ciggies a day.

I tried my first cigarette when I was about 13 and I started smoking full time when I was about 16, once I quit school and started working.

I know now, like it’s taken a long time, that I can’t be that person that has one cigarette here and there because I’ll just go straight back to it and I refuse to be that person anymore.

It’s breaking that habit of the first thing that you do when you get up in the morning is have a cup of tea and then you go and have your cigarette with your cup of tea.

It was pretty scary once I realised that I couldn’t actually go a whole day without it.

Above all, the proudest moment for me is my children’s response. I know I have inspired them to live healthier.

The amount of money I have saved is insane. It's not about the money but more about lifestyle now.

I have done my first park run and am signed up for a few other fun runs. I feel so much better for not smoking.
