Thinking About Change

Welcome to QuitWell™! Quitting is a big, life-changing step. It won’t always be easy. You might feel motivated and ready-to-go some days. Other days might be harder, and you might wonder if it’s worth the effort. Change can be hard and doesn’t happen overnight! In fact, it normally happens in stages.

This guide is designed to help you achieve your goals, even if you are not ready to change right away. The questions and activities are designed to help you move through the quitting process at your own pace and under your control. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1-not motivated, 10-very motivated), how motivated do you feel to quit right now?
