Sorry @A MyCOPDTeam Member but @A MyCOPDTeam Member and @A MyCOPDTeam Member have a good point.......take charge of your life....there has to beeeee someone somewhere that will help you, you surly have churches there where you live or neighbors that would help.......there is always a way, you just have to find it.......Pray about too, it always helps in so many ways.....and like they also said, you have got to quit smoking......God will take the desire away, He did for me.....
