Chris Achilli with Wavelink


Chris Achilli, with Wavelink, has made great strides since joining The Apple Program®. The program has helped Chris get on track and link his short and long-term goals. He’s quit smoking and is now exercising multiple times a week!

The reinforcement of his Apple Health Coach® and the visual aspects of the program (goal tracking) have helped Chris maintain focus. He’s been able to set his own goals and track his success. His coach has also been persistent in nudging, not pushing, him to succeed.

Chris had tried to quit smoking in the past, but was unsuccessful until now. He was able to quit smoking by using patches and having goals set up with The Apple Program, which were designed to keep him occupied with healthier alternatives, such as exercise. It’s been nearly six months since he’s been off cigarettes and he says, “Now there’s no looking back. The changes I’ve made have meant the world to me.” Chris smoked for nearly 20 years but now is determined to remain smoke free.

Chris is excited about his new lifestyle because he realizes these changes benefit not only him but also his family, as they will no longer be at risk for the side effects of secondhand smoke. He also now has the potential to live longer and be around one day for his future grandchildren.

Chris would like to remind others to not lose their focus. “Day to day life can take its toll and things can get frustrating, but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.”
