340 days in NML, 350 Days Quit!!!

OldBones-Larry
0 14 75

I just looked at my counter and saw that it has been 350 days since I mashed out ol' Nic.

That means that I have been out here in NML fighting Nic and his buddies for 340 days. I have quite a few scars from the battles.

I have rescued several that fell from Desolation Point at the Relapse Rocks. I took them back to receive aid for their injuries so they can begin their journey once more.

I just came down from the Mountain Cave that Old Goat told me about. I sat inside and meditated while healing from all the battles.

I encourage all the travelers in NML to persevere in their journey. The other side is so green and peaceful. You have many people over there that want to see you succeed.

Keep following the markers along the trail. Rest at every oasis to recover and regain your strength.

I will be watching for you and will give any aid I can to you.

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

Larry the Caravan Master

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.
