Alan's Story
Alan had been a smoker for 25 years. Alan was experiencing a number of stresses in his life so he felt it would have been easy to fail any quit attempt. Alan had always been passionate about food but could not taste food due to smoking.
Alan was referred to One You Surrey and has now quit for 11 weeks. He is well on his way to finishing his course to be completely smoke-free. Alan said: "My quit journey was easy because my advisor Helena showed compassion and understanding, patience and encouragement. The support I have received has helped make this possible".
