i wont beat you up for it bud, but do wish you'd quit just for your own sake. I too don't really want to live too old as I have enough aches and pains allready, but I'd like to have as much quality of life as I can while here.
one bad habbit and you get your a** chewed up
i dont know if there is much drink driving here the days, it became very anti social and frowned upon, the current thing here now is driving whilst using a hand held mobile phone, its illegal but outside of the big cities we don't have the cops to police it, so they carry on doing it, caused a few accidents, some fatal, nationally.At least you were smart enough to walk! The driving drunk is still a big problem here. I don't care if someone wants to risk them killing themselves, just not risk hurting others. I use a glass of wine each night to help fall asleep. I guess it's my sedative. But you are right with way too many people not being able to control themselves with it.
I drove into Atlanta in the new work truck yesterday. It sits up high so you can look down at all the cars around you. I bet a third were texting while going 60+ mphi dont know if there is much drink driving here the days, it became very anti social and frowned upon, the current thing here now is driving whilst using a hand held mobile phone, its illegal but outside of the big cities we don't have the cops to police it, so they carry on doing it, caused a few accidents, some fatal, nationally.
yep that's the thing, every time I go out I see someone driving with their mobile phone pressed up against their ear driving with one hand, and i'm in a rural area.I drove into Atlanta in the new work truck yesterday.

That really is the secret to quitting my friend, just don't give up if you slip. When I quit I remember just getting through one craving at a time. At first you'll get cravings every 10 mins or so. They only last one to two minutes. All you gotta do is get through that one minute or so, then it eases off. The cravings will get further apart each day too, and get less intense each day. In three weeks your not free of it all, but it gets a lot easier. Good luck and my best wishes to you.and as part of this new training plan, I've started a smoke strike
one day at a time and if there happens a relapse I won't slit my wrists for it,just try again.
well, during a physical I discovered a disturbing issue. I have a part of my heart that isn't getting enough oxygen. I'm only 52! I guess too much fried chicken in my lifetime.... So at 7 am tomorrow morning I'm going to have a heart cath to see where the blockage is and what to do about fixing it.
The moral of this story is get regular check ups. If I had put it off a heart attack would have been likely before long. Once you have one the muscle in that part of your heart dies and never comes back. Catching stuff early can make a huge difference in the outcome. I just kind of think of checkups as I do with any of my preps.
Baby steps. When people make drastic changes they rarely stick. Just start making minor adjustments a little at a time.Good catch and good advice.
about 18 months ago I started feeling off. I would get light headed standing up suddenly.
Also I'd get tired easily.
One afternoon about three months later (yes I know I put it off far too long), I almost passed out when getting up from sitting.
So I said to the wife "I think a trip to the ER is in order".
They took me right in of course and hooked me up.
My heart rate was down in the 30's when it should have been twice that.
After some test the doc said "you need a pacemaker".
So I didn't have a heart attack, the blockage of the electrical signal was likely caused by an infection according to the cardiologist.
It's an easy procedure, practically no pain post surgery.
So today I get my regular 6 month pacemaker checkup.
I feel great.
Now my challenge is I'm 63, overweight, have back pain. How the heck do I get in shape?
Walking is one of the best things you can do. Start out with short trips and then as you feel up to it walk a little further. Swimming is another great way to get in shape. For your back pain, have you tried a massage therapist? Years ago I had severe back pain from getting kicked in the back by a 2,000 pound draft horse. I found a little Filipina massage girl in town and she worked on my back. Very painful at first but I haven't had back pain in years. And of course eat a healthy diet.Good catch and good advice.

I think those are illegal in most states now....Where can I find a little Filipina massage girl?
I think those are illegal in most states now....
Yeah, but they fit nicely in your luggage.....I think those are illegal in most states now....
