Depression Gorge

I just wanted everyone to know that I am still here. 

I haven't been posting a lot and probably will only be reading for a while. I will comment if I feel I can contribute.

I can safely say that my quit is not in any danger and that Ol' Nic will not pull me back into his Nicotine Prison.

I am revisiting a place on this journey that I had hoped to never see again.

It is called Depression Gorge and is located close to and just before the Relapse Rocks.

I like several others suffer from Depressive Disorder. Right now I am battling another round.

The worst I have suffered in close to 10 years.

I ask you all to know that I am with you in spirit, if not in words.

I hold you all in my heart, and in my thoughts.

One step at a time will get me through this as it always has before.

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

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.
