Sterling Seventh-day Adventist Church Hosts Breathe Free2 Smoking Cessation Series Feb. 5-13

The Seventh Day Adventist Church in Sterling will host a Breathe Free2 smoking-cessation program with nightly sessions scheduled Thursday, Feb. 5 through Friday, Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. The series, held at 230 Lincoln Street, runs nine consecutive nights and is open to residents seeking help to quit tobacco; organizers ask attendees to RSVP by calling 970-554-3330.

Organizers describe the sessions as a local opportunity to "learn strategies, get support and take control of your health." The program listing notes that "this series of supportive and informative meetings are designed to help people quit smoking for good." For Logan County residents who have struggled to quit, having a structured, nearby option can lower barriers to seeking help.

BreatheFree2 materials characterize the program as evidence based. Program pages state, "BreatheFree2 is an evidence-based smoking cessation program" and note that "the program has a long history of success helping smokers achieve their goal of being tobacco-free." The Health Connection Newsletter describes an updated format as "This enhanced, nine-day program provides a comprehensive physical, mental, social, and spiritual approach proven to assist smokers to free themselves of the tyranny of tobacco." Those institutional descriptions reflect the program's ties to larger Adventist health ministries and public health partners.

The BreatheFree2 initiative is carried by multiple Adventist health venues and lists institutional partners including the International Commission for the Prevention of Alcohol and Drug Dependency, the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and support from Loma Linda University School of Public Health. Program resources emphasize accessibility for facilitators: "Training videos and all program materials are available online–without cost–to all registered facilitators." Local attendees should ask whether printed materials or follow-up supports will be provided at the Sterling sessions when they RSVP.

Practical details for Logan County residents: sessions begin at 6:30 p.m. each night, Feb. 5–13, at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, 230 Lincoln Street, Sterling. To reserve a spot, call 970-554-3330. For additional program contact and materials, BreatheFree2 LLC is listed at 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, Maryland, 20904, telephone 1-301-680-6719.

The nine-night run gives participants consecutive evening support over more than a week, mirroring the program's updated nine-day model. Whether someone is ready to quit now or wants to explore options, the Sterling series provides a local pathway to support and proven methods. Residents planning to attend should RSVP and check with organizers about any materials, costs, or follow-up services before the first session.
