Don't Give Up, Keep Trying

I hope Mandy's information will kick start a desire to quit in everyone that smokes and read it. There is no better time to quit than NOW! Come to the QFB support group Feb 12th at 6 for support. Take advantage of any help available so that you can provide the best start possible for your child. If you would like some support and information please contact me, Alice, at 845-2947. With a strong desire to quit and with support and encouragement from others, you will be able to quit, it can be done. If you have tried before and feel like you have failed don't be discouraged, each time you quit you learn something about yourself that will help your next effort be more successful. Quitting is often a process of learning from each attempt until the time when all that you have learned comes together for success. DON'T GIVE UP, KEEP TRYING!
