A couple of months ago it looked like I might have to have a type of by-pass surgery in my legs, especially the left one. After 36 years of heavy smoking, the arteries were sufficiently blocked as to prevent adequate blood flow. The condition is known as Peripheral Artery Disease.I began a strenuous workout program on June 1. I have had very little exercise since I was in my early 20's, about 30 years ago.
After 2 months of exercise, the arteries have opened up enough that the vascular surgeon told me that surgery will not be required as long as I continue to get proper exercise AND as long as I don't start smoking again.

that I got to hear Ginger tell us about a small bit of her incredible life as she grew up in New York, over 20 years ago. Today, she is sober for more than 23 years.
that I have learned to take my time and consider multiple possibilities and consequences before making decisions
that I was able to take a friend to the Astros baseball game last night --
we had a great time!
that sometime, it's just easier and more efficient to get things done when I take the bull by the horns and do it myself!

the human body never ceases to amaze me... good for you!! now, if all my sagging parts would just firm up again, i'd be a happy man...
I think that is great daave, that by you working out, you were able to avoid surgery!
PS there are more people who feel like loners in AA that you man know. Hang in there, as you grow, you will see how that will change.

Daave, the Astros won last night -
You should go to more games. HA!
dave, that is awesome to hear! my dad had the same but he wouldn't quit smoking so his doctor wouldn't operate. a meat free diet with lots of veggies (all colors of the rainbow) is another way to help those arteries unclog themselves.
you are an inspiration.
