Anyone else struggle with booze?

yeah I have issues, but I don't drink anymore. An important thing to keep in mind is that you only have to wait for the next morning, to be greeted by either regret or satisfaction, depending on the choice you made the previous day. That's not too long to wait for gratification for a good decision.

Good for you @89th. You’re young. And smart. I recognized the binge thingie in myself around your age, and knew I had to do something about it. So I did.

Ha I'm not THAT young anymore... was 23 when I first joined TNCR, I'm 43 now. Yes younger, but certainly at the point where my body is much "louder" about health decisions... if I'm working out, stretching, and eating right...it feels that much better than in my 20s when you're a bit more invincible and those decisions didn't matter as much.
@Horace true, the mornings where I feel great, I feel really great. It's a good reminder.

Well, @89th, I was in a sh*t state of existence at 43, in the early days of tncr. Running (totally new to me) and weight training (also new), helped with clarity, planted better habits. I gotta thank @kluurs for his wisdom, help with this. Now, occasionally, I might feel obliged to order a beer at a pub, but honestly, it’s just to toast with others; it goes unfinished. There’s zippo at home except wine that gets gifted to us. I save, crack that open for visitors. Alcohol sparks zero joy. Wasted calories.

I'm fine on workdays, as I don't drink during the week, but the weekend isn't the weekend for me without a couple of beers. And I have that problem where I end up having 3 or 4 instead of just the planned-for one. I know I should pack it in, but....
I do seem to have (mostly) got over the urge to get shit-faced, which was a well-documented aspect of my younger life.

I’m close to the @Doctor-Phibes mode, though my weekends aren’t weekends, working retail. My days off are normally in the middle of the week…

Truthfully, I gotta get back to some cardio & weight training. Isolation during Covid, menopause, mourning my youth, turned me into a fat lazy hermit. I’m still in this funk.

I hd foot surgery and haven't been able to go the gym in almost three weeks. Driving me nuts.

You can go and do upper body stuff?
When I had my nasty bike accident I would do some dumbbell stuff and this stationary hand pedal thing.
Only non-witches get due process.

I do the hand pedaling every day, but a lot of the upper body machines still require your feet to brace.
