Generations of smokers

My friends call me Jo. I'm 61 yrs. young. I was diagnosed with AFIB in 2011. I had no idea the scary ride I would be taking to where I am today. I never knew COPD can put you into Afib. As I was told by my pulmonologist when I was diagnosed in 2015 with emphysema. Severe FEV-1 and I can't recall the rest. I was raised with 6 other siblings. My folks smoked. My Aunts, Uncles, Grampas. Of course of the 7 children, 6 of us smoked. I, myself being a smoker since the age of 15. My folks and 3 brothers have passed away. I struggle like many others here. I've read stories. I've attempted and failed so many times at quitting smoking. I've come to the realization. I may never quit. Even after being released from the hospital several times. I'd make it a few days. Couple weeks. I start out of the gate with a steady pace and trip. I know I won't get better. I accept that. I only know that if it were so simple to just put down that d*mn smoke and walk away. I could increase my quality of life more. I have no support group. Everyone I'm around or related to mostly smoke. I feel I'm rambling. I do apologize. Just a frustrating chapter in my life right now. I needed to get it out somewhere. ?
