This is a true story based on the life of David Harold Salzler. It chronicles his addiction to legal hard drugs that are readily available anywhere in the United States. These dangerous and highly addictive drugs are nicotine and alcohol. This story was written not to produce revenue, but rather to save lives. If only one life is saved by his admission to his demons, it will be well worth his efforts.

Thank God I have NO memory of the following events:

During the evening in late fall of the year electronic cigarette. My youngest son found me in a comatose state, labored rapid breathing! No longer able to control my bodily functions! It did not look good for me.

911 call, emergency transport to ER, prognosis-poor. Admitted to ICU, but it was just a formality, prognosis-vegetative state for life at best, most likely-TERMINAL. My living will was activated: "NO HEROIC EFFORT"

Diagnosis: Congestive heart failure, respiratory failure, kidney failure.

My body was kept going by artificial means: IV's, Tubes and respirators, kidney stimulants. My natural life and decision's on how to live the rest of it was now in the hands of my soul-mate of 34 years. I thankfully lost control over my life as I knew it. My condition bounced back and forth between terminal to critical for almost a week. That was time enough to summon our children to my deathbed. My soul mate consulted with our family about my "Living Will". Should she revoke it or leave it as I desired? She was torn in a million pieces. Remember road one and two? She choose road one for my future. She would not attempt to go against my wishes menthol vape juice. She let the "Will" be carried out.

God Bless us all, and have a wonderful life!

p.s. thank you for allowing me to tell my story.

My "Lifelong Gratitude" extended to Kathy and Brian, I will love you always!
