My name is Carol Prendergast and I live in Yamhill Oregon. I have been a pack and a half a day smoker for more than 40 years. I contacted Positive Changes upon my release from the hospital after a heart episode in March. My Doctor told me that if I quit smoking, exercized, and took the appropriate medicine that my heart problems would resolve themselves. I called the next day to set up an appointment with positive changes.
I have tried all the conventional methods in the past - Gum - Patches - Will Power - even the pleas and requests from my Grandchildren in the past have not worked for me. As much as I wanted to become a non-smoker . . . nothing seemed to work . . . I felt that I would live my life, no matter how short, a smoker of cigarettes. It seemed always too big of a task to tackle. . . let alone suceed at.
I went for my first session on the 18th of April. When I walked out of the Positive Changes Center, I knew that I would be a non-smoker. A ""Clean Air Breather"", I noticed right away that there had been a shift in how I felt about not smoking. I never felt deprived, nor have I felt that it has been a struggle. I simply feel like I am a Non-Smoker. A sence of accomplishment has come over me since my very first visit and I simply feel like the desire I once had to stop and take a break and smoke a cigarette is gone, vanished, and not a part of who I am today.
I feel that this has been the best investment that I have ever made in my life, my health, and my future. I know now that I can live a long and healthy life as a non-smoker, and as I was told, a ""Clean Air Breather"" - the life I was intended to live from the beginning.
I will continue to recommend this program to anyone who wants to make a life style change - if it can work for me . . . it certainly can work for you.
Please give it a try - and become the success story you want to be.
Thank you Positive Changes for giving me my life back.
