“Hi Paul, hope you are well,

Just wanted to let you know it's been a week now since my therapy and I haven't smoked. In fact in a way it feels like I've never smoked.

I haven't had any cravings and I have no problem being around other smokers. The therapy has worked so well for me, I feel great and things in my life seem to be coming together nicely.

I have recommended you to 3 of my close friends.

I will continue to recommend you to people who could benefit from your treatment as I am over the moon with results I have seen in myself.”
