Letters from people who we have helped:

Eternally grateful

“All my life I have always been an active, sporty person who enjoys jogging, squash and getting out there amongst it with friends and family, kicking the ball around and joining in with backyard cricket whenever I can.

A few weeks ago I went out fishing with my daughter and her friend. We had to climb a hill to get to our favorite spot. For the first time in my life I began to get puffed and start wheezing on a gentle incline and this worried me intensely. I didn't want to admit to myself I was participating less and less in activities I enjoyed because I wasn't able to keep up any more. I was starting to feel extremely old even though I am only 36.

A month ago, a close friend of the family died of cancer. Even though it was not smoking related, to watch her fight so hard to live while I was gave my life away to cigarettes made me feel unimaginable guilt. I knew the time had come for me to quit smoking finally and get my fitness back. This was the first time I have tried to quit and I don't know what everyone is talking about, I will never know the hardships of quitting and it is all thanks to you. For this I will be eternally grateful."

Your program helped me to be honest with myself for the first time....ever

Before I found your program, I dreaded quitting so much. Every time I had quit in the past I felt like I had just lost my best friend and my life was never going to be the same again. I was so sad and lost I have ever only gone 2-3 weeks before I quit quitting and gleefully went back to cigarettes, smoking twice as many to make up for being away from each other.

So while I was skeptical your program could help me overcome this, I decided to give it a try despite my misgivings. It took a couple of reads to overcome years of brainwashing that made me believe that smoking was smoking I needed to 'give up' and I was 'missing out' on something everyone was 'allowed' to partake in but me.

Your program helped me to be honest with myself for the first time... ever.

I don't want to end up one of those annoying ex-smokers who go all anti-smoking on their friends, but now I have seen cigarettes and the people who have lied to me for so long for what they are, I actually hate them and everything they stand for. I find the smell absolutely abhorrent - a small miracle for me. I will never share these thoughts with anyone but you, and I thank you for helping me to see this."

Thank you so much for opening up my eyes..

Before I discovered your program I had smoked two packs a day for around 30 years.

The reason I had never been able to quit in the past was a overwhelming fear of how bad my withdrawal symptoms would be and I was going to struggle with this for the rest of my life - once a smoker, always a smoker etc.

Your program helped me to realise this was all a pack of lies we have been fed for years by those who rely on us smoking to support their extravagant lifestyles. As it turns out, quitting smoking was actually one of the easiest things I have ever had to do.

I thank you so much for opening up my eyes and for the gift of life you have given me."
