For quitters like Stephen, little wins make a big difference…

Things like enjoying your food more - or being able to splash out at your favourite restaurant. 🍽️

But even though he’s saving around £120 a week, it’s not just about the money but the experience.

“Now, instead of buying a packet of cigs, I go to the cinema and watch a couple of good films at the end of the week. 🎬🍿

“Or I’ll go have a nice Indian and get something a little more expensive than I’d usually get. Nothing basic, something a bit better, something tastier. 😋

“You can enjoy your food a lot more when you don’t smoke. Before I was just chucking it down me, and it was just bland and everything tasted the same.”

Stephen smoked for 49 years before finally managing to quit with help from his Be Well advisor Mel.

He said: “I think smoking all the time puts you in the doldrums. You think ‘is this the only future?’. 😔

“I’ve got more motivation now. I’m doing things that, before, I couldn’t be bothered with. I’d just sit in the house with a fag and a brew.” 🙌

Check the comments to hear more from Stephen or to get support to earn your own wins 👇

Quitters never win, huh? 🤔 Well, not according to Sonia…

She’s quit smoking with the help of our Be Well Stop Smoking Service! 💚👏

“I’ve more money 💷, my house and clothes don’t smell 😷, and I feel like I’ve got more self-control,” she says.

Sonia says she wouldn’t be winning without the help of her Be Well advisor Louise, who helped her quit with plenty of advice and encouragement.

“She was very informative at our first meeting and appeared to be very knowledgeable when explaining and illustrating the benefits of quitting.

“I wouldn’t have done this on my own so I appreciate her support throughout!” 🤝

Would you like some support to be a quitter? Get in touch with the Be Well Stop Smoking Service and start celebrating your wins!
