Heart Disease and Smoking

Even though smoking is very bad for the heart and I have already had a heart attack and several TIAs it is still something I fight every day. And I lose the battle often. I changed my diet and exercise and though I know my risk of dying this is something I am having trouble with.

I often ask myself why would I slip and do something so bad for me. Yet sometimes I give in to the smoke and then feel really bad about myself because I am so weak in this area. It’s been 3 years since my heart attack and I know I still need to watch it or death will be my fate. Yet sometimes I just can't fight anymore.
