"Immediately put me at ease"

I have successfully quit smoking after 50 years. This is down to the wonderful service I received from Sarah of the Wellbeing Service
I finally made the decision I needed to quit smoking and after a lot of soul searching I self referred to the Wellbeing Service.
At my initial meeting with Sarah she immediately put me at ease and explained what route I would be following.
She was supportive and we meet several times in person and then by phone.

Dear Shirley29
Thank you so much for using Care Opinion to leave feedback on the support you received from our Adviser, Sarah, in the Wellbeing Service.
It is wonderful to hear that you have quit smoking after 50 years and that you attribute this to Sarah.
We value all the feedback we receive and will share your comment with the Team. Sarah, in particular, will be so pleased to hear how supported you felt by her.
We wish you well for a smoke free future!
