“It’s been 9 months since my last cigarette. Everyone is so proud of me.”

~Michelle

“When I was smoking, I was doing it to be around people to socialize, and it was curiosity. As I got older, I was still smoking, I was smoking for stress and things that were going on in my life. I know it wasn’t a good thing. I’m living a better life, saving money by the way!”

~Alvin

“I was smoking three packs a day. With my asthma, I couldn’t walk up the steps without losing my breath. Over the past year I’ve cut back, only three cigarettes a day. It’s a big achievement and I feel so much better. The knowledge and support I’ve received has made all the difference.”

~Angel

“The best thing I can do for my health is to quit smoking. Now I’m in the process of cutting back and eventually I want to quit. Anything that could help me on my journey of recovery from the addiction. Within a month, I am going to be smoke free.”

~Joann

“It’s taken a real toll on my health, but I’m making a change. I’m getting the proper information and support I need to quit. I know that cigarettes do not reduce my stress and it shouldn’t be the first place I turn. By learning more positive, healthy behaviors I’m changing my outlook and my life.”

~Chris

“I’ve been a smoker for 30 years. By the time I was in 9^th grade I was diagnosed with asthma. My goal is to call this afternoon. I want to put on shoes and I want to go outside and I want to run until I can’t.”

~Jennifer

“The first thing I do when I wake in the morning is light up a cigarette. I thought smoking made me feel better, but it only made me feel worse, physically and mentally. It took me awhile, but I finally got the help to quit.”
