1. It was now or never!!! Seemed my luck was running out!! (Once I admitted I was an addict and needed help I found an online support group where I could educate myself (QSMB) and receiving nicotine patches while in hospital helped me get through hell week....best thing I ever did was to quit when I did....as I had just had a stroke, the beginnings of COPD and coronary artery disease. Quitting stopped the COPD in it's tracks and I got through my stroke (2017)and then the CABGx3 in 2018 (triple bypass due to many blockages in coronary arteries) and am on road to recovery. ?
2. Admitting I was a nicotine addict and joining an online support group made all the difference....one day at a time!!
