UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS TO STOP SMOKING!

Go ahead! You made something so difficult, so very easy and gave me a confidence I didn't know I had. That has transferred into other facets of my life. It's amazing how wonderful you feel after defeating a huge demon! I wanted to write you on my one year anniversary, but I forgot. Soon, I'm guessing, my husband will be sending you a thank you because he has almost hit the one year mark. Seeing you was the best $250 we ever spent. Use whatever you need for future promos. The successes need to be documented!

Thanks,

Dr. Blansett,

I wanted to say thank you! It's been over a year, and I haven't touched a cigarette since the time I walked out of your office. It has been remarkably easy and I am so thankful to you and the confidence you gave me to quit smoking. Thanks again and I hope Stephanie and you are doing great!

Blessings,

Shelley Courington

Certainly, you can use my letter as a testimonial. I'm flattered you would want to! People are impressed I've been able to quit smoking after 43 yrs & always ask how I did it. Well, I've been giving out your name quite freely, but didn't figure I needed permission for that! Hope you acquire another client or two because of it. Good luck!

Dr. Blansett:

As a recent "Stop Smoking" client of yours, it occurs to me perhaps you would be interested to know, I have not had a cigarette since just prior to walking into your office six weeks ago on February 27th. For me, this is something of a miracle! For you, another success story to add to your files - at least, so far. I don't want to get overconfident!

You know, of course, it's not been easy. But I am most fortunate in having a good friend on the internet who is trying to lose weight, we formed a buddy system, & for six weeks have been supporting & encouraging each other via e-mail, sometimes several times a day. I also have terrific support from my family & friends. And I've decided that I'm probably always going to have these cravings to smoke, some of them quite severe, but I'm just not going to give in to them. Too, I've learned the cravings will disappear in time.

I came away from your office with two great ideas that helped me immensely in the beginning: telling my subconscious I was no longer a smoker & it didn't need to keep alerting me to smoke, & using a straw as a substitute cigarette. Perhaps you even saw me driving down Mt. Juliet Rd "puffing" away on my straw!

Just as I'd feared, when I stopped smoking I began eating, & in six weeks have gained twelve pounds. I may be calling you again soon for weight control!

How many thank-yous are enough? I don't think I could ever thank you enough, but I do want you to know I am so very, very grateful for the help you gave me to overcome this addiction, & I sincerely hope you're able to help many many others like me. Thank you, Dr. Blansett.

Sincerely,

Judy Schmitt

Testimonial #2, UPDATED 20 Months later!

Dr. Blansett, The date, February 27, 2001, is engraved in my brain & in my heart, for that is the date I was able to stop smoking after 43 years thanks to your help! I e-mailed you after only six weeks of smoke-free living & intended to e-mail you again after one year, however, I forgot! Perhaps you can do something for my memory, too?! Now, here it is 20 months later, & I am still smoke-free. What a beautiful blessing to be able to put the cigarettes down & never touch them again after so many times of trying to quit on my own. My sister is convinced you wrought a miracle. My gratitude knows no bounds. I hear a smoker cough & think, I used to sound just like that, but I don't any longer. Nor do I smell like smoke. My house smells clean. I don't have to take cigarette breaks from things I'm involved in. I breathe easier. No more burn holes in my clothes. The list of advantages goes on & on, & there is no down side. Once again, how many thank yous are enough? Whatever it is you do, it works, & I am blessed to have found you. You are blessed to be a blessing to those of us who need your help. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Judy Schmitt
