Is it weird that this feels a bit like confessional? Not that I've ever actually been in a confessional - but I've seen the films

I have never ridden as often or for as long as I did this weekend
I've realised that boredom has been a massive driver of smoking, and in order to be not bored.. I got on my bike

Made it through the entire weekend smoke free! Two evenings of dinners/drinking and a BBQ.
It was NOT easy, but I'm ridiculously proud of myself

And if anyone out there is thinking about quiting, I definitely think I did it the right way around
Quiting during the week - meant that my hands and brain were busy at work while coming down off the chemical dependancy, now I have the habit to break, but only dealing with the habit when I came in contact with people who knew me as a smoker, the occaisional drink etc. and that all worked out alright, I don't think if I had of tried to quit on the weekend that I would still be a non-smoker

Have been a knitter and spinner for years now! Although I can't do either at the moment as much as I'd like to - have restricted fine motor skills in my left hand due to a pinched nerve which is still recovering
