"The thought of not having any more stop smoking medication scared me. I thought I was going to struggle but I have had no strong urges to smoke at all. There are moments when you think I could just have one, but it is a thought, and it does go away.
I have struggled with my mental health most of my life, most days, I don’t even leave my house. I never thought I would be able to do this. I recently had a melt down and had to really push myself to come to the clinic in Normanton. Marie, my stop smoking advisor was most patient and understanding and referred me to Live Well Wakefield to get some help for this. I am most grateful as I am now getting the help I need!
I don’t think about cigarettes now and I have surprised myself. I would usually have a cigarette with my occasional glass of whisky but now it never enters my head to light up one. It was a big thing for me!"
Well done Chris. It hasn't always been easy but your courage and determination has shone through. Your advisors in Wakefield are incredibly proud of you.
