Company at the oasis :-)

Izzy has just come into the oasis. She is very welcome here. I have given her a bunch of dates and some cool water. I invited her to put up her tent and rest for a while. She is welcome to travel with me if she wishes. If anyone is close to the oasis, please come and visit. You will not regret it.

I'm at 68 days now. Had a few rough spots, but I'm STILL smokefree. The old NICOdemon will not sucker me into touching one of his sick-o-rettes. I'm done with those forever. I value my health and my heart too much for that. I have come too far to fall into his trap now.

I will continue to rest here for a while. The animals have plenty of cool water and I cut some grasses for them to rest on and eat. They deserve the rest after helping me this far.

Remember: 

One step at a time gets you to where you are going.

Hugs and love to everyone.

Larry

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
