Giving Up Bad Habits

[Steak Eater]

I had given them up a few years ago, then for reasons I wont discuss I started smoking and drinking again.

I have for the most part given up drinking again! Have not had a drink in almost 2 weeks and plan to keep it that way.

I did give up smoking again for almost 2 weeks, but lost that battle for the time being. Stress drew me back in to the cancer sticks, I hope to win that battle again soon.

I want to get back to what I was, eating healthy, living healthy, etc. It is hard to do but so enjoyable and how I prefer to live my life.

[Zap]

You can do it again, dude.

[Steak Eater]

I'm trying my best

[Ferre]

Me, I know I'm not going to live forever, so although I eat healthy and keep in top shape physically I also do drugs and R&R, let it cost me a few years I don't care, I consider the quality more important than the quantity, and the last years are not nice for anyone anyway, that's where all the health problems come in whether you lived a healthy live or not.

Anyway, but that's just me. :sqwink:

[Steak Eater]

I just don't like drinking and drugs to tell you the truth, I've always used them not for enjoyment, but as a way to IDK escape reality, what I'm missing, in a bad way not good.
Personally I enjoy being healthy and hate putting crap in my system, but I know that's not for everyone.

[Ferre]

Well, to be honest I also hate putting crap in my system, that's why I keep it by the herbal drugs, the non-lethal and non-addictive ones, but they are great fun too.

:sqlaugh:

[Steak Eater]

I've only really ever done tobacco, alcohol, weed 'when I was younger' and a few other minor things when I was young.

I have nothing against weed and stuff, I just honestly don't enjoy it.

Drinking is bar none the worse, it's a waste of money, makes me feel like shit, and doesn't really do anything but make you act stupid.

[Ferre]

I'm fifty and I'm still 'younger'. :sqlaugh:

[ewomack]

You're only as old as the woman you're with... who said that again... ???

[Steak Eater]

What if you are not with one?

[ewomack]

Then you're as old as your liver feels...

[Ferre]

What if you are not with one?

Then you are one of the few lucky ones. My advice; enjoy it for the little time it lasts.

[iowadawg]

Eat and drink healthy foods only.
Exercise every day.
No smoking or alcohol.

And you will die just like the rest of us.

[Steak Eater]

Might die like the rest of you but at least I'll die feeling good about myself

[Steak Eater]

Then you are one of the few lucky ones. My advice; enjoy it for the little time it lasts.

That's funny, I consider myself one of the unlucky ones. It will last a life time and I don't plan on enjoying it :sqcool:

Cool smilies btw!

[Strong]

You're only as old as the woman you're with... who said that again... ???

I thought it was, "You are as old as the woman you feel". But I could be wrong. :sqconfused:

[julien_simon]

I don't feel like a woman.

How old am I then?

[Strong]

Well that leaves you with other men or cuddly toys. Your wife is in for a surprise!

[ewomack]

Most women really want a cuddly toy, not a man. You have to dress up like one to get them to admit it. Do it. Dare you dare you dare you.

[Steak Eater]

Hmmm maybe that's my problem with women :D

[iowadawg]

I been doing it wrong.
Instead of dressing up as a toy, I just carried a toy.

[Steak Eater]

I made it all week, making it this weekend as well as I plan on taking my son out for dinner tonight. I have no interest in drinking, absolutely none!
Other areas still need work, getting the heart to exercise again, quitting smoking, getting back into work, etc.

Small steps, small steps.

[ewomack]

Many small steps equal one big step... oh yes...

It could be worse, you could be David Hasselhoff's agent...

[Zap]

Good job, dude.
Every little bit helps.

[Steak Eater]

I have something that does keep me going to an extent, hope, even when it's hopeless.

[Muddy]

I have something that does keep me going to an extent, hope, even when it's hopeless.

That's an impossible statement. There's either hope, or it's hopeless. The very word "hopeless" means "no hope". So if you have hope, it's not hopeless. It may be impossible however.

It may appear to be an impossible statement, I do have hope as it's all that I have giving me drive, keeping me alive, but I fear it's hopeless. There is no way to truly tell if something is hopeless, until you die and it never happened ;)

[Muddy]

There is no way to truly tell if something is hopeless, until you die and it never happened ;)

Exactly! So it's not hopeless. That's twice you've said you have hope, therefore not hopeless. You fear it may be hopeless, but for now it's not because you have hope.

[Steak Eater]

Yes I fear it may be, it's my greatest fear, but even still I do have hope. Man that almost doesn't make sense, maybe I'm hopeless! :p
