Ron was a long-time smoker, smoking for more than 50 years. It took a stroke for Ron to quit for good. Read for his tips on how he stays quit.
I am 66 now and quit over five months ago.
I smoked for 52 years and am not proud of it. I’ll get to the point.
I had a mild stroke in February 2018. At that point I had quit smoking for almost three months. Fortunately, I fully recovered very quickly and my doctor said I was very lucky.
I wonder by quitting if it was a godsend. My doctors all feel it was a big contributing factor to why it wasn’t more severe than it was. I’m now almost six months free of that horrible habit, walking three kilometres a day most days of the week and I am joining a gym also.
Easy to say now but quitting is doable, but you REALLY have to make it your business no matter how hard it initially is. It is to me my biggest accomplishment of my life and will be yours also.
