"The best thing that's ever happened to me"

I reached out to  SmokeFree Hull over 2 months ago. I have been smoking since I was 13 years old and I am now in my late twenties.  I have never been able to successfully quit. I have tried many products,however doing it alone was too much of a struggle.

When I reached out to smoke free I was assigned an agent but I'd like to say more like a support worker who would call me same day every week to check on me and motivate me. I am a heavy smoker so my hopes of successfully quitting smoking was almost none existent but Mhairi motivated me every week. I started on the strongest patches as I smoked around 20 cigarettes a day, sometimes more if I where going through any kind of stress.  While on the patches I cut down drastically to around 2 cigarettes a day in the first week because the craving had gone. By the second week I was already off cigarettes.

I slipped on 2 occasions in my first month but I'd gone through some heavy stresses and my slip only consisted of 2 cigarettes on both occasions and both times I never finished the cigarettes as they made me feel a little sick. I am now on week 10 I have been off nicotine patches for around 5 weeks and smoke free for 10 weeks.

I have tested myself at social events and I am able to be around my smoker friends and not feel a single bit of temptation. I feel amazing. Because of this I have put parts of the money I would have spent on cigarettes and saved just over 400 pounds which I have put towards now getting my nutrition and weight side intact by investing in a personal trainer.

Smoke free Hull is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I am forever grateful, I know I will live a little longer and have more fun with the money I would have used on cigarettes. Thank you
