The Importance Of The Oasis

As in any trip across a desert, you must take advantage of any chance to rest and recuperate.

That is why the oasis comes up so many times in the caravan blogs.

You must replenish yourself and your supplies.

Reset your goals for the next part of your journey and make sure you have the supplies you will need.

I went through a bout of depression not long ago.

This post is from that journey back from that state.

It is the same when you are on the caravan for your trip across NML.

The stops were for the same reason here as on your journey away from nicotine.

May this help in some small way.

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.
