It's really hard to keep it going but with 3 months at it you have a good head start. Best of luck
This thread came to mind again because of something that happened recently.
I can only talk about it briefly, and in general detail, because one of our members was involved in the life saving part of it....
I don't want anyone to feel bad, or feel blame is being suggested in this post here.....I'm just relating it to raise awareness......
Someone recently died on a NJ beach....
It wasn't swimming-related, so it didn't get much publicity.......
The general details that I do know....is that someone went into cardiac arrest....
One of our members tried to save him......
He was brought back to life...but then died again.
This was a tragedy....sometimes tragedies cannot be prevented....
Again, let me re-state, that it is extremely difficult to say why this person, when brought back to life...died again...every effort was made to save them.
I did discover that they were a smoker....and thought I would relate some of my own experiences here....
About 5 years ago...one of the members of this site...who I had lost touch with....got in touch with me, said he had a heart attack...
This floored me...he was not overweight, in good shape from fishing all the time...had a physically demanding job...
How could a guy......in such good shape, get a heart attack?...I asked myself....:huh:
The answer....my friend was a heavy smoker.....a guy in his early 40's got a heart attack, because he smoked regularly, and his arteries hardened up....
Smoking can do this, and worse damage to your body....
Again, not making any assessments here for the person who recently died....just noting that he was an alleged smoker as well....
**To all the men, and ladies out there....when we get to be 40 or older.....those who smoke become greater risks for heart attacks....
Some of us will survive them...and some will not.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends of the person who had that heart attack.....
Their pain must be so great....I feel for them.....
At the same time....I would like to take this opportunity.....to offer my challenge to any contributing member here....who quits smoking for 6 months or more....
Will send ya any {1} of my plugs...that you choose........yours, for free.....if you can just keep it up for 6 months......
Just follow the steps outlined earlier in the thread....
Good luck out there....if you are trying this, and need support....there are several threads here....this is just one of them....
