I got help from the website about whether to gradually cut down to unfilter my life, or give up all at once

One of the reasons I think I haven’t been able to give up before is that I didn’t know much about how it would affect me. Both, physically and mentally. Getting answers to some of the questions I had is already making a difference for me.

The hints and tips I got from this part of the site have helped me to cut out cigarettes I wouldn’t have been able to cut out before

Feeling stressed has always been the hardest one for me. That’s when I feel I need to smoke, to relax. This part of the website showed me that there are alternatives, and there’ll be something here that everyone can relate to.

It was great to see all the different ways my life could improve without cigarettes

Now I’ve started cutting back on my smoking, I’ve noticed a real difference in my energy levels. But I was able to see from this bit of the site how my health would improve in lots of ways, right from day one and that was really encouraging.

I think I first tried to quit smoking about 15 years ago now! And there have been plenty of other times since then, I’m afraid to say. I think what you need more than anything is to not let it get to you, and I’ve been using the website to keep me positive.
