    Congrats on kicking two addictive body destroying habits. Make fitness your next vice. It pays much better dividends in the long run. I discovered this "lifestyle" when I hit 40, but I have not had a prior addiction to kick so you might have to put in a little more work to turn the corner on getting in shape, but at 50+ I'm in the best shape of my life honestly so if I can do it at 40 so can you. don't allow yourself to slip back into the things that were bad for you.

    Congratulation on being sober and giving up smoking! That is a great accomplishment and I hope you are feeling good. How is your diet and what is your plan to get back in shape? I wish you well.

    I'm happy for you that you know and are tackling this now. Alcoholism is way too easy (I recognize that in myself too). Let's beat this and lose the pounds!
