Every time I got a simple cold or sinus infection it would lead to bronchitis. I quit when I had bad bronchitis spell. Coughed my head off, couldn't breathe. At age 45 I was terrified at the prospect of feeling like that forever if I were to develop COPD.

I didn't want to do it any more.

My 15 year old granddaughter started smoking.  I wanted to be a better role model.

Why? 

I have moderate COPD.  Was in hospital last year at this time for bilateral lung infection, they didnt know if I would pull thru.  2 years before at this time, had a bulging vein in my brain. (brain surgery clip).    They knew of the bulging vein  because I had a stroke 4 months before in 2016.  Not related to stroke  it was a nightmare surgery.  Almost died 2 times in 2 and 1/2 years.   My health was fine til I turned 55.  I dont' have any reason to smoke!

My miracles have run out, I believe.


I dont want a life with more of this...2016


I want this life!  (2018 pic).  New hair finally slowly grew back.

You look so beautiful! I feel like I am running out of time to reverse the affects.

Thomas3.20.2010‌ I quit smoking because breathing became so terrifyingly difficult at times...I wanted to live without that feeling overwhelming me.  I quit smoking to save myself from MORE damage.  I have NEVER regretted quitting, I will ALWAYS regret starting.
