Welcome to Clearing The Air
In this heartfelt episode of Clearing the Air, host Ryan Michlig sits down with Helen Kennedy to explore the deeply personal and often complicated road to quitting smoking. Helen opens up about the powerful social and emotional influences that led her to smoke, and how those same forces made it difficult to stop. From her early smoking habits to the transition into vaping as a cessation tool, Helen's story illustrates the non-linear, persistence-driven nature of quitting.
The conversation covers the emotional weight of addiction, the triggers that can derail progress, and the impact of major life changes—like retirement—on smoking behaviour. Helen and Ryan also discuss the critical role of support systems, the importance of setting realistic goals, and the value of community and open dialogue in recovery.
With a candid look at both setbacks and victories, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone navigating their own journey to a smoke-free life.
