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!” 🤝

Tony was a smoker for 52 years… but he’s now been a quitter for more than six months with help from the Be Well Stop Smoking Service! 🙌

After being told he had a high risk of lung cancer in the next 5-10 years, for him it was a classic case of ‘quit while you’re ahead’.

But Tony’s also winning when it comes to saving money – spending his cash on seeing the world instead! ✈️

“I was costing me £50 a week – that’s more than £2,500 a year. I’m putting that away for holidays now. 🏖️

“I’ve just been to Greece, a little mountain village in Rhodes, and now the wife’s constantly looking at other holidays. We’re looking at Spain or maybe Portugal next.

“It’s the health gains too. I don’t cough anymore, I don’t get out of breath as much as I did. My dentist has congratulated me too because smoking affects your teeth as well.” 🦷

Having tried and failed to quit before, Tony says the ongoing support from Be Well has made all the difference.

“The first time I did it cold turkey 🦃 and I struggled,” he says. “That put me off trying again for a while because I was panicking about how hard it would be.

“But I’d have done it a lot sooner if I thought it was going to be as easy as it was – thanks to this support. I don’t think I’d have managed it without it.

“The help is here and it’s fantastic!” 💚

For Brian, winning is a matter of life and death… 💚

A smoker since the age of 11 and suffering from heart conditions and COPD, he was told his habit would kill him if he didn’t quit. 😔

Now, with the help of our Be Well Stop Smoking Service, he’s five months smoke-free and “feeling a lot better” physically and mentally. 🙌

“I never thought I could quit smoking,” he says. “I’ve tried but never been able to conquer my cravings.

“I also struggle with mobility… but Be Well has been there for me and gone above and beyond – supporting me with home visits and making sure I got the medication I needed delivered.

“(Health advisor) Kathryn has been great, I wouldn’t have been able to quit without her. She’s been so supportive, making sure I’m ok and have everything I need.

“I feel a lot better now. My breathing is easier, I have more energy, and I’ve noticed a huge difference financially too. 💷

“Mentally I feel a lot stronger and have more will power to continue to be smoke-free.” ✊

📢 Feedback Friday 📢

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The service was efficient, professional, and incredibly well-received by our team.
Many employees shared how the checks prompted them to reflect on their current lifestyle and inspired them to make proactive, healthier choices.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive - from the friendliness of the staff to the clarity of the health insights provided.
It’s clear that initiatives like this not only support employee well-being but also foster a culture of care and awareness within the workplace.”

Thanks Toni for taking the time to leave such a great testimonial after our recent visit delivering Workplace Health Checks 🩺
