When I was young my mate used to buy cigarettes for me. As I got older I started work and was able to buy cigarettes myself. Even though it was a huge blow to my wages the habit kept on growing, until most of my money went on cigarettes and alcohol.
I never worried about the side effects of my addiction until recently. I noticed that I’d developed yellow stains on my fingers, my lips were sore, my smell and taste sensation were not good, my teeth and gums went bad and even breathing was becoming difficult. I wanted to give up and went to a two day workshop on smoking cessation. I tried, but ended up giving in to the cigarettes again.
Earlier this year I started to think seriously once again about kicking the smoking habit. I wanted to save money, improve my health, improve my taste and smell sensation, and most of all, I wanted to be a good role model for my nephews and nieces, other Pathways staff and the people who use Pathways services. Pathways was there to back me. They gave me great support.
I have now been smokefree for 51 days (as at 25/07/2008). I’m really enjoying the benefits and feel like I have a new life!
I believe that if I can do it, anyone can do it.

A wellness garden
Rosalie is taking part in Pathway’s Project Patch – an initiative that supports people using Pathways services to start their own garden and grow their own vegetables. Pathways Taranaki support worker Lynnley Kirk talks with Rosalie about the difference Project Patch has made to Rosalie’s lifestyle.
“On a recent visit to see Rosalie, we started discussing how she’d been keeping herself well. Rosalie said she attributes her level of wellness to two things – the support she’s receiving from Pathways team and her Project Patch garden.
Rosalie talked about how having the garden to work on has given her a distraction from concerns. Getting out in the garden and digging the ground helps her release tension so lets her concentrate on others things. She explains the real sense of achievement every time she picks the vegetables from her garden and takes them inside to make herself a meal.
Rosalie is on a very tight budget. Her benefit just covers the mortgage on her home, her bills and food. Rosalie and I talked about how her garden has really helped her with this. By freeing up some of the money she’d usually use to buy vegetables, Rosalie has been able to keep her phone on, pay the power bill and even get the internet. This has all contributed to her increased independence and ability to look for a job.
Project Patch has also helped Rosalie’s health. Rosalie is a pre-diabetic and has high cholesterol. Eating from her garden has helped keep her cholesterol and blood sugar levels down. The garden has even helped Rosalie stop smoking. While out in the garden most of the day, Rosalie doesn’t think of lighting a cigarette and when she goes inside, she doesn’t smoke in the house. She’s been smokefree for more than three weeks!
Rosalie’s used the original garden supplied by Pathways and even built her own raised garden. Her Project Patch garden has given her a new lease on life and a reason to feel proud. I reckon she’s an inspiration!”
