I've been a member of
BecomeAnEx since 2008. Having quit smoking in March of 2006, first with a 12 step group called Unofficial Niconon, then with the Smoke Away group, I ended up on BecomeanEx.org where I've been attempting to help people find the freedom I had found. In 2013 I wrote a blog called
A Quit Dialogue in IV Acts. Essentially it's the self chattering brain game that a quitter goes through during the process of becoming free. At least it was MY brain game. The managers of the quit site liked it and asked if they could use it. I, needless to say, was delighted and said SURE.
Their marketing department condensed it, changed the title to
100 Days of Quitting and decided to put it out as an audio version on their Legacy site. "Would I like to play one of the roles," they asked? Well.... YEAH! I told them my husband was also an actor and that we probably could do the whole thing right here at home, to which they agreed. Now how cool is THAT!
So husband and I spend many hours rehearsing and then taped it in our walk-in closet (the quietest place in the house.) He did a much better job than I at fulfilling the character. Voice over work takes skill and he's good at it.
I decided to turn it into a youtube video and this is the end result :
