"Before You Light That Cigarette"

You don't forget the moment your heart stops. You don't forget the pain. And you don't forget the second chance.

At 58 years old, I survived five heart attacks in less than 24 hours including one that stopped my heart completely. Eleven years later, at 68, it happened again. Another heart attack. More stents. More recovery. More reminders that life doesn't give unlimited warnings.

I wrote this book for one reason: to make someone stop before lighting that next cigarette.

Inside, I tell the truth exactly as it happened the pain, the fear, the flatline, the fight to stay alive, and the long road back. If my story keeps even one person from ignoring the signs I ignored, then everything I went through has a purpose.

Your body whispers long before it screams. Listen while you still can.
