Breathe Free is a smoking cessation workshop being offered by the Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The Breathe Free workshop is a group interaction, behavioral change workshop. It includes an introductory session explaining the program and preparing individuals for the smoking withdrawal process. There are seven more sessions that help each person in his or her cessation process.
Participants are instructed how to handle the smoking urges and what to expect in withdrawal symptoms. They also learn how to handle the lasting psychological association that can engender return to the smoking habit.
Medical personnel will share their knowledge of cigarettes and what they do to the body. There is a video every evening and group discussion following the video designed to help strengthen individuals’ resolve to live a longer, healthier life.
The first session will be Tuesday, Sept. 20, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Each session will be an hour to an hour and a half. They will be held at the Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church at 2820 Lynn Rd.
This program is free to all those who attend. For more information, please call 828-859-6407.
