I think back to that day in early June when I walked through the wellness fair at Edgewood, and I met up with Gail, who was answering questions about a program offered by Edgewood.

I decided to try the Fresh Start Smoking Cessation class offered at my company because I never quit smoking more than 6 months on my own. I wanted to permanently quit this time and thought it would be better to try roughing it out with others. The classes were helpful because I learned that others [...]
