EP31: He Turned Quitting Smoking into a Game… And Won - Gareth King
from You Can Quit Smoking · host Honor Your Heart Jessi Hartnett

He did not see himself as a typical smoker or as someone who was addicted, but he realized something was amiss when he could never make it through a weekend without smoking. Because the habit was so closely entwined with his social life and drinking, Gareth unsuccessfully attempted to quit many times. That changed when he tried a different approach that provided the exact incentive he needed to stay on track.About Gareth:Gareth King is a Melbourne, Australia-based Creative Director in the world of marketing, always seeking new ideas, experiences, learnings and stories from anywhere.
