Bea, 51

"I was a smoker for 36 years. One day my boss, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Robert B. Kershaw, and I discussed smoking as an addiction. I’ve worked for him for 2 years; he knows me well and was concerned for me. I decided I needed to change my bad habit. I finally had the motivation I needed to quit smoking. I heard about 1-800-QUIT-NOW from my doctor and decided to give them a call.

For 15 years I had been trying to quit. I tried so many different ways but the Quitline, my Quit Coach, my family, and my faith helped me to succeed. First we set a quit date, then they recommended a medication to help me and they also taught me how to deal with my cravings. I’ve been smoke-free for 9 months and I am happy I quit. My family and my boss are, too. "
