I used to a lot and managed to get addicted to it and it became a bit unhealthy. Now just addicted to running and occasional alcohol binges.
A US Navy pal of mine used to say "they can kill me, but they can't eat me - there's a law against that".
I think @PVA also needs to open up regarding factual denial and his mocking of alcoholism is truly disgraceful. He has of course previously accused me of being a sex abuse victim. Guy has issues.
Boddy and Comms at Club
What the hell is going on at the club - the comms and certain aspects of the club that Boddy runs seem to be an absolute shambles this season. Surely the key people (Boddy and comms guys) are in the process of being moved on?

Well I find your ableism and Islamophobia quite offensive. Now bore off you weirdo.
Not the best thread for trying to settle the everyday forum scores in, I would say
I got dragged into it when I wasn't even posting in here.
But to answer the OP, feeling OK apart from having Covid again.
Bit stressed at work, but looking forward to a golf trip in a few weeks with the lads followed by a holiday with the family.

I’ll lighten the mood then. 
18 years today since I lost my Mum to the c**t of the disease that is Leukaemia at the young age of 50.
I’d been up the football seeing us lose to Hull.
I’m travelling back from Wales hungover and then I’m going to take my Old Man up the crem and then proceed to drink myself into oblivion.

Tough day mate, hope it goes as well as it can
I can really relate to you mate. You are gonna get there. I was on sertraline for two years and been off since 2021.
It affected my diet and ability to shag properly, but the problem was it really changed me as a person. I was completely on another planet and one night I drank on them to excess and ended up almost ruining my life. I won't go into it here but can PM if you want, but that point I realised those things were just making me worse. I started therapy and came to realise so much stuff about my life and childhood, was fucked.
I'm not in a great place at the moment, but these things for me are always relationship related. I also didn't speak to my family in over a year. Otherwise I've got some good things going for me and an amazing job. Need to focus on that.
This thread is great and well done for opening up. You are going to get there, being aware of shit is the first step, and you are putting the work in. Good luck.

Thinking of you mate. Enjoy some drinks but look after yourself! That's very important.
Wake up early
Meditate
Be grateful
Don't argue
Don't gossip
Don't binge on anything be it alcohol or TV
Excercise-weights or running
Sleep early
Hopefully never need drugs
Easier said that done though. Wish I could do all of these every single day without fail but end up falling off living well bandwagon after a week or so and then take a week or so to start up again

It’s a good checklist to stick to… I’ll see how it goes.
Tbh compare me to few years ago. I rarely argue these days. I'm on this forum less which is a good thing.
It definitely is, as is cutting down on social media in general in my opinion.
Oh and add cold shower every morning to the list!
It's not uncomfortable after you do it for a week or so and I find get less colds now. Been doing it close to a year

excellent phrasing. Almost always self medication.
This is one of those things I know is good for you, has been great every time I've done it, but have just never added to my routine.
The main problem is that when I shower it's before I go to bed.
The only time I've done it consistently is when the boiler broke so I was forced to for a few days.
FFS… you can’t just feckin add another requirement to the list!!!
Another health one, I've been asthmatic all my life but when I did my recent round of checkups that got my blood pressure diagnosed they looked at the records and whatever else, got me to do a week of peak flow tests and have basically signed me off as not having asthma any more. I didn't even know you could get shot of it
Same happened to me during Covid. Told the doctor I was asthmatic, had an inhaler since I was a kid but had rarely used it as an adult. Thought I’d better get checked with the pandemic. Was told I don’t have asthma any more!
Had it really badly as a child (hospital stays, told I wouldn't be able to play sport etc) and grew out of it in my teens.
Still can't play sport mind, but at least that's on ability and fatness(!)
Oh shit there's a point, when I'm blowing out my arse at 5 a side I've now only got myself to blame
Just been prescribed with Statins. Had a text from the surgery saying my profile suggested I would benefit from them. When I called the surgery was told there is a programme of profiling patient's records and I presume an algorithm highlights any potential problem down the line.
When I last had a check-up all was in order.
Anyway, on the basis that the computer never lies, decided to take them.
It's good the NHS seem to be getting pro-active with prevention rather than an early illness onset.

They work by inhibiting the pathway your body uses to make cholesterol, so perhaps you have that higher than usual. Most of your blood cholesterol comes from that rather than your diet, my dad’s side of the family all have quite high levels of it.
