My Name is Patty I am 60 years old. I stared smoking at the age of 14 I have no Idea that one day I was going to quit cold turkey. But here I am this is the first New Year and Xmas that I celebrate without being smoking. I have cry over this addiction I feel that I left a friend. A friend that was taking my health my Money and having control over me. It hasn't been easy But I am proud to say that I am on almost two months and a half since I had my last smoke. I want everyone to know that there is help there is hope and that there is so many like you and me so you are not alone. I never tougth it was a problem or I had a problem I used to run a Marathon, 5k. 10k and never had a problem. Until one day it was affecting my health and I was told by my niece that my sisters lungs collapse and went to the hospital but still didn't stop but on September 2017 I got a magazine and there it was Freedom from Smoking and it was free how lucky I was so I decided to go. I learn so much about nicotine and how to deal with the process of my addiction. Also I learn that I need it the help of Higher Power. I went to church and got into a program call CR Celebrating Recovery. The rest is all up to me.
