If you're a smoker, quit. If you're a heavy drinker, learn to scale it down...or quit. If you like some Mary Jane or whatever you call it these days...quit.
There is nothing wrong with having some wine with dinner or a couple of drinks every now and then, but if you cannot commit to a 2x2 rule (two drinks two nights per week...ususally cheat nights), then you drink too much. Not to worry, just scale it down to 2x2 and if you can't, then you might be addicted.
If you smoke the MaryJ, it probably reduces your memory, makes you act silly, and gives you a sense of arrested development. None of this is good. It's okay to act silly from time to time, but do it without assistance. If you can keep a steady job that makes more than minimum wage, awesome. However, most that partake can't.
If you smoke cigarettes, I have one word. Ewww. Why would you ever want to do that to your system. People lite up at an outdoor restaurant, and others ask if they can move to a table further away. Smoking is disgusting, and it makes your mouth, your skin, your breath, your car, and your room nasty. Smoking looks great when it's with a casual drink in a slinky outfit in a night out on the town at 23. But, when you're 55 and looking like you're 70, it's another story. It's much easier to quit at 23 than 55, so do your quittin' now.
All of these impede health. You need oxygen, smoking tobacco takes that away. You need hydration, excessive alcohol intake takes that away. Plus, someone who's addicted to anything but exercise is an addict who's probably out of control. Change your addiction, become addicted to the gym instead.
Do: Examine your addictions. If they're unhealthy, get rid of them. You're stronger & better than that.
