"Really helped me push through"

I ended up with gum disease, all because of the years of smoking I did, I had been smoking a good 23 years, tobacco was what I smoked, and I was going through a 50gram pouch in a week.

I had to stop and thanks to the NHS service and Ewlina at the stop smoking service I managed, worked out what was best for me, made a plan, I asked to go on the tablets.

There was times I wanted to throw in the towel and just give up but Ewlina was always there for me, cheering me on, praising me when I reached a milestone, supporting me on the days that were hard, helping in every little way that she could.

The cravings were very hard to manage but I pushed through. I had tried all sorts before to stop smoking but having the support and someone just there to cheer me on really helped me push through
