Group Seminars

X Smokers group courses are popular with smokers who like to feel supported and personally cared for. There is nothing like eye contact, conversational interaction both with your counsellor and other smokers in the group and the knowledge that you’re not alone.

As smokers, we often feel lonely, misunderstood and somehow different. A comment we often hear from our members is, “It’s wonderful to find there are others just like me. I thought my routines, fears and failures were unique to me.”

Often, one of the best parts of our meetings is the smoke-break when participants get together and discuss their experiences informally. Yes, we encourage smoking during the first five sessions of the program! This gets you ready for your independence gradually and gently.

You’ll never be looked down upon in X Smokers. The seminars are warm, empathetic and led by qualified counsellors who’ve all been smokers just like you. They’ve walked in your shoes. If we hadn’t been smokers too, we wouldn’t be properly qualified to help you.

Although individual participation occurs, if you’re shy in group settings, your privacy will be respected and you will never be made to feel uncomfortable. Often, people tell us that they usually aren’t at ease in groups, but they found the X Smokers experience pleasant, non-threatening and relaxed.

If you live in Southwestern Ontario, chances are there’s a group program near you. Dates, times and locations.
