Your relationship with tobacco/nicotine is complicated. Our support is compassionate and comprehensive.
Your Valley Medical Group provider is always glad to offer support and advice about cutting down or quitting. They’ll help you understand which cessation medications are appropriate for you and prescribe then as necessary.
We understand that this is important and can be complicated. So, here are some additional FREE services you can access. No costs, no co-pay, no pressure, just support the way you want it.
Weekly QuittersWin Support Group
Brave folks who are ready to talk about changing their relationship with tobacco can attend our free weekly QuittersWin group (now meeting on Zoom) every Wednesday at 4:00 pm. Zero pressure and lots of support from people who understand. Contact Tim to register. (413) 800-2334
Text Message Support
Timing matters, and rather than call you when you’re not quite ready, 1 or 2 positive text messages each week will keep our services on your radar. Of course, you can stop them any time by texting “STOP.” Send a text to Tim to sign up. (413) 800-2334
Patient Initiated Phone-Coaching
Rather than call you when it’s not convenient, you can call Tim for an individual phone-coaching session any Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Some people call weekly, some less often. It’s up to you! Get the support you want, when you want it! Call Tim (413) 800-2334
