Desert Changes

As I was storing supplies at one of the oasis this morning, I noticed the changes of 203 days roaming in this desert. My skin has become a very deep color and turned leathery. I went over and gazed into the water pool. My face looks like an old nut perched on my shoulders! LOL

I can't believe the changes that have happened in the last 233 days. I do have some physical problems from all the years of smoking, but I do have to say I feel better than I have in years. I can actually think without it being through a nicotine haze.

Thank you one and all that have been with me through all of this journey.

Keep Them Away From Your Face!

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

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.
