Traps Along The Trail

OldBones-Larry
2 8 14

I thought today was a good time to remind the travelers iin NML to beware the traps Nic and his gang have set along the trail. Whether it be a pit-fall trap, a snare trap, or a deadfall trap. All of them are designed with one thing in mind. To knock you off your camel and your quit.

At the oasis while you are resting, beware the whisper out of the dark. Nic has sent his minions to try and break your resolve and woo you away from your quit.

Be especially careful around the Relapse Rocks. Nic loves setting traps at Desolation Point. We have lost many a traveller there. There is a very long fall there and I know you would not want to go over the edge there.

Stay strong and ignore those soft whispers of the delights a sickorette would grant you. All that dead weed will bring you is shortness of breath, sickness, COPD, Cancer, and many other nasty side effects.

If you see a fellow traveler wavering, help them stay strong and continue their journey. Together you are certainly stronger than Nic and his friends.

Keep traveling my friends and be vigilant always as you travel the trails. Keep your journey free from the slips Ol' Nic wants you to suffer.

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.
