I always admint I have done almost everything that can be done wrong from the book, wild lifestyle until 6 years ago when I saw someone who was about 50 back in the day and I said I dont want to end up like him, smoke like a train, drink like a fish, fat, always hurting, my life was not a wreck but I struggle on a daily, since then stop smoking, eat healtier and a few months stop drinking completely and I dont like to count the days since that really doesnt work for me, if only I knew 20 years ago we can be so destructive to ourself, recently Im trying to become a morning person and still working on that too ....probably went too far 😅 but thats just my expirience ✌️
You "saw" the problem coming in your way and decided to take action. Just keep doing what is the best for yourself, 'cause you're on the right track.
