I bet your wondering how I managed to quit smoking after almost 40 years. Well, the problem is, I was a fairly heavy smoker. So in my early 50's I died. They did manage to revive me though, and then I spent four days in sort of a coma. They said I could squeeze their fingers, but I could not communicate with them.
After about 4 days, I came out of the coma and then I was in the hospital for another 6 days. When I got home my doctor would not allow me to drive. I could have called a taxie and had them take up up to the gas station to get a pack or two or three, but I did not do that.
I was afraid, but also I was tired of it. I really did not need them, and they had caused me a lot of trouble as far as making me sick and things like that. The longer I go without smoking, the more I wonder why I smoked all of those years. Because there really was no advantage to it and there were a lot of disadvantages.
It has been about 3 1/2 months now. I think about it and I am sure over the years I will be thinking about it somemore to come up with some different things to say about it. I think it is true what they say is that smoking is a big deception and people are deceived into thinking they are getting something out of it. When really it is causing them more harm then good.
Anyways, what I really wonder is why I am still alive. It all caught up with me and my time had come. But for whatever reason, God revived me. The only reason I can think of is so I can do whatever I can do to help others.
