Support

It is so amazing what can be done with support!!

Let me explain just a little....

2000 days ago I was somewhere between living and the Ancestor Lands. I remained that way for ten hours.

The next three days are totally lost to me. I was in a drug induced coma as I began the long road to recovery from heart surgery. 

It also began my personal journey to freedom from sickorettes....

I had to endure pain, uncertainty, depression, elation, and many other things. 

I had good days. I had bad days.

I made my journey and succeeded in quitting.

I had terrific support here and valued it all. 

I now wish to tell those beginning their journey to lean on the support from people here. Listen to what they have to tell you.

Read their old blogs and pick out the things that you find helpful.

We encourage "snooping" through our old blogs. 

Without the help, support, and friendships I found here I would not be able to say that I am 2000 days free from nicotine.

I thank those that helped so much on this journey and urge those just starting to also lean on the support you will find here.

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.
