Real Story
Thirty-one-year-old Brandon started smoking in his midteens, and by 18, he was diagnosed with Buerger’s disease, a disorder linked to tobacco use that causes blood vessels in the hands and feet to become blocked and can result in infection or gangrene. Nine years later, after losing both his legs and several fingertips to this terrible disease, he quit smoking for good. Smoke-free for 4 years now, Brandon hasn’t had any more amputations, but he still must manage the consequences of being a double amputee.

Lost Everything
I have a son that's 11 years old he means the world to me. My wife had a problem with experimenting on different drugs when my son was only about 6 months old. Her family had addiction from experimenting with meth and other drugs so I tried it and it wasn't really my thing.
My thing was pills, so we got a place together me her and my son and it was going OK for awhile. But in 2011 I had caught cancer and it took a toll on my body, so my wife decides she going to leave me cause she can't handle my condition anymore and takes my son with her.
I was so in denial with my addiction that I didn't know what to do. After taking chemo for 9 months I finally went back to work and was already addicted to Oxycontin and other pills. I lost my self-respect and control. Now I've been living a nightmare, lost my truck, my family, my son barely talks to me anymore. My job and my life is ruined because of it.
