My name is Ann Stevens. I'm a preschool teacher's assistant from Charleston, South Carolina. Thanks to Positive Changes, I've kicked my smoking habit! Because of hypnosis, I have more energy. I have more lung capacity and I'm able to do more things.

I started smoking when I was a teenager and continued to smoke for 6 years. I'd smoke half a pack a day. I tried to stop smoking with the patch, different medicines and cold turkey. Nothing worked. I'd stop for a short time, but always ended up smoking again. I learned about Positive Changes on TV. I'd pass by their office on my way home and wonder if it really worked. I decided to find out. After only a week in the program, I felt like I was in control of my life again. I no longer have to be embarrassed by my smoking habit!
