My story: Dickie

I live in Windham with my wife and my two teenage kids.  Like an idiot, I started smoking when I was 16.   At the height of my smoking I was up to three packs a day.  My entire family smoked and his mom eventually developed throat cancer.   Since that happened, my family has quit smoking, but that’s the not the main reason I quit.  I just got sick of cigarettes controlling my life.  I couldn’t go anywhere without them and everything was revolving around smoking.   Finally I quit June 2009.  I used the Maine Tobacco Helpline and found them helpful. They got me started with the process, but eventually I got hypnotized to quit.
