Having given up smoking, Michelle is now valuing family time.

Having given up, I’ve found out that I am better off without the cigarettes

Wherever I went I had to think, what will people think of me for smoking?

Going cold turkey never worked for me. But with extra support I finally broke the habit.

My lifestyle is better. I’m breathing easier. I’ve got more money in my pocket.

Most of my friends and family would have never bet on me being able to quit. Including myself.

It doesn’t matter how many times you have tried to quit, or how long each quit attempt has lasted, there is always hope.

I couldn't have done it without Gemma. That one-to-one support made all the difference.

I remind myself of all the good things in my life - it reframes my outlook on life.

At the end of the course I was delighted to call myself an EX-SMOKER and I was determined to stay smoke-free for good!

I wasn’t enjoying it. I was sick of doing it. I kept remembering what it was like seeing my dad struggle to breathe.
