RE: How Did You Stop Smoking ?
I quit 6 yrs ago with the patch. It lasted for just over 5 yrs. I had to ride about a hundred miles with a co-worker that smoked one day and I borrowed a smoke. Just one smoke and I would be okay. Right.
I'm 49 yrs old, my wife and I eat healthy and Exercise. I'm not overwieght. Now I have to quit cold turkey because I had a heart attack last Thursday. Nicotine is in your blood and it can stick together over time and attach to plaque to close off your arteries in your heart. I had 2 arteries that were blocked 90% (now have stents) and one that still is blocked at 100% which I now have to go in to have the cardioligist attempt to unblock and put in the third stent. if that doesn't work than we may be looking at a by-pass.
My wife is my best friend and I can't imagine not growing old together. That is what I almost made happen. I have 8 grandkids that mean everything to me and to think that I almost lost the chance to watch them grow tears me up.
Now for the next month I have to stay home because I can't go back to work with restrictions.
RE: Large family camping trip.
We do it every year with any where from 13 to 15 sites and anywhere from 60 to 100 people at one time. Most S.F. and State parks here in Michigan only allow up to 8 people per site.
