Damien recently completed our 12 week stop smoking programme with our team in Wakefield and is now happy to be an ex-smoker! Here's his story:
I was referred by my GP Practice to the service, Yorkshire Smokefree Wakefield, and attended at Salvation Army in Castleford. There was no judgement and the chats with my advisor helped me to remain quit with regular carbon monoxide readings to keep me on track.
My advisor accommodated my shift patterns from days to nights making sure I still received support. I had been noticing that my workouts at the gym were not as effective due to smoking, and I wanted to set a good example to my young family.
I am now smokefree and feel a lot better in myself looking ahead to my wedding in August and finding my career as a shopfitter a lot easier physically.
Damien, 37, Castleford
