Transcript

00:00 Guys, I have big news, big life-changing news for me.

00:05 ♪ Colds calling ♪

00:08 For those who know me, I have been a heavy smoker

00:12 and I've tried everything over the years,

00:14 the patches, vaping, tablets, everything,

00:17 and nothing's kind of worked.

00:18 However, just recently I got really, really, really ill

00:21 with a very severe chest infection.

00:23 Could not breathe genuinely.

00:25 For a good few days was struggling to breathe.

00:27 Went to a specialist, he was talking about COPD, emphysema,

00:32 and guess what?

00:32 A light bulb moment.

00:34 What are you doing, Colleen?

00:35 And since that day two weeks ago,

00:37 I haven't had a cigarette.

00:38 And guess what?

00:39 I don't want one.

00:40 I don't wanna smoke because life is too precious.

00:42 And when I was there thinking,

00:44 oh, I can't breathe during this,

00:45 my first thought was I'm not gonna be able

00:47 to be the grandparent I wanna be when my kids have kids.

00:50 I just won't be able to do anything.

00:52 So anyone out there that's struggling, I'm with you.

00:54 I know it's difficult, but if I can give up,

00:57 Anyone can.
