M: So, Rachel, how did you finally quit?
W: Well, I had a friend who had had a three-pack-a-day habit. And he told me about this woman who hypnotized him, and he quit, and there was no pain at all! And so I just decided to give it a try. And it really worked!
M: Great!
W: Yeah, it worked for me. I had four treatments, and by the end of the fourth treatment, I had completely lost the urge to smoke.
M: Why do you think this method finally worked for you after you’d tried so many times to quit?
W: I think, you know, all the other times that I’d tried to quit there had been a part of me that wanted to keep smoking, you know? And I just had to reach the point where I was just ready.
M: Um-huh. Now, your son. How old is he now?
W: He’s twelve.
M: How does he feel about cigarettes?
W: He hated it when I smoked, he hated the smell, he was afraid for my health. He used to put messages in my cigarette pack in my pocket saying, "Quit smoking, Mom," so that when I’d smoke I’d find them.
M: Yeah?
W: So he was really happy when 1 stopped smoking.
M: And how do you feel physically? How did you feel after you quit smoking?
W: The big thing I noticed, and I have a friend who quit at the same time and she noticed it too, is I just had so much more energy.
M: Huh.
W: And the second thing I noticed was smells. My sense of smell came back and I really liked being able to smell things again.
M: Did food taste better?
W: Oh, food tasted much better! Yeah.
M: Anything else you wanna add?
W : Um, the money! M. Ah!
W: Uh, cigarettes are really expensive. When I quit, I calculated exactly how much it would cost to smoke for a year, at that time I was spending $ 4. 50 a pack, and when I quit, I put the money in a savings account. And at the end of one year, I went out and bought myself and my son mountain bikes to celebrate our anniversary.
M: That’s great.
W: And I’ve just kept doing that for three years, and every year I use the money for something healthy to make our lives more fun.(405 words)
