Hello, this is my first post. I am 72, and other than 4 somewhat long term quits in the past, I have smoked for nearly 50 years. This quit journey began about 2 months ago. I was alone, and awoke unable to breath. By the grace of the Almighty I managed to drive myself to the emergency room hospital. I was blue upon arrival, and taken in immediately. Was diagnosed with COPD, and a serious lung infection. No doubt to Dr. this was caused from smoking. How could I have done that to myself? Damage has obviously been done, but already I am breathing better. It's a new day now, and God may have given this old lady a second chance.
