Wake up India 🇮🇳

One great song! Why can’t we all live together as brothers?

Ghost - Eye by Amitav Ghosh.

Settling down for a weekend read!

Hello all!
M68 here. Been a chain smoker (pack a day) since I was 18.
Ended up drinking every other evening and taking an Alprazolam before sleeping.

Diagnosed as COPD last year, hospitalized thrice with severe excarbation

Started using a BIPAP and Trelegy Ellipta, along with a rescue inhaler.

In January I just decided that I needed to live longer.

Overnight quit smoking cigarettes (using nicotine gum), drinking alcohol (it triggers my need for cigarettes) and started weaning myself off Alprazolam.

It’s been over two months now and everyday it’s a battle, getting better.

If I could kick 3 addictions, so can you.

I never thought I could do it.

I have a newly born grandson and I want to live long enough to see him grow up.

Kick those addictions!

Wish me luck and hope to continue on this life improvement journey.
Cheers!
