I drank almost daily and did every drug imaginable for around 33 years between periods of training after I hit bottom and I relapsed a lot and each time I hit bottom it was worse than the time before.I overdosed 3 times on intravenous drugs and was pronounced dead of those 3 different occasions............... ..won over 60 trophies in both powerlifting and bodybuilding even though I had shit for genetics.If you can drink socially,FINE...........if not and you are showing signs that you are or are becoming an alcoholic quit now at any cost.Off the top of my head, and I counted before this, I have lost around 150 people I knew to drugs,violence and alcohol.Growing up in the ghetto with a woman beating alcoholic father gave me very little hope.Bodybuilding literally saved my life............. as corny as it may sound to some of you guys here.....it kept me grounded and gave me goals.
Try having classical music in the background when you are sleeping. Every night I have Sirius/XM radio on either Symphony Hall or Spa and I sleep like a baby.
Thanks for the post.i feel better everyday. I m focusing on lifting again. Ur right goals r everything
