Help for Quitters

In response to my recent blog about quitting smoking a former client writes:

“After smoking for 30+ years, I quit smoking just last year. I wanted to write just to recommend ASH LINE, I'm sure you seen the ads on TV. Sponsored by the University of Phoenix, it's a free service. They will give you a sponsor who calls every week to check on your progress and offer encouragement. Like the "Big Book" they have all the tools one needs to quit. I used Chantix and had no problem with quitting, I was surprised how easy it was. Chantix is free by prescription through Ash Line or Medicaid. As a past resident at TLC I know how you feel about "MEDS". Let me assure you Chantix is safe and non-addictive and only taken for 8 to 12 weeks. Again, I just wanted to recommend Ash Line to anyone who wants to quit.”

For any of you who want to quit, click here to go to the Ashline website.

A myriad of free information is at: http://smokefree.gov/free-resources
