A Reminder To All EXers

OldBones-Larry
10 9 110

There are times that we all are having a bad day or struggling to keep ourselves away from Ol' Nic.

We need to remember that EX is here with all the help and support you could ever ask for.

When you are deep in that Valley of Despair or Depression, come here.

Someone has been there before you and will try to lead you out.

We all will do this to the best of our ability.

The most cheerful has probably been where you are.

I know I have been there many times.

One stick can be easily broken.

Ten sticks is harder to break.

A large bundle can hold against pressure and holds strong.

EX is like that large bundle.

Together we can resist and lift each other.

There are many versions of this song, but I always liked this one.

Celtic Woman - You Raise Me Up (Official Video) - YouTube 

Stay strong and hold to each other against the pressures of life.

Walk together and you will make the journey to the other side.

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.
