In the 60 years of my life
I have only had a handful of sips of alcohol at wedding toasts.
The only drugs I have taken were prescription.
This is because I was a state swimmer, competitive martial artist and played semi professional tennis.
Alcohol, drugs and smoking were really really bad for your performance.
So , right up to 15 years ago, I never partook of any of the bad things because I was competing.
A
15 years ago, I broke my back.
But I still have no time for alcohol, drugs or smoking.
At 60, the only medication I take is blood pressure tablets.
I am still quite healthy, can still swim 2.5 Kim in under an hour and do all my own renovations.
Pumping shite into your body does not make you better, it only dull your senses.
I have seen so many people suffer at the hands of alcohol, drugs and smokes.
I have lost several friends, family and work colleagues.
Banning drunks and drug addicts will make a tremendous difference to the road toll.
The amount of difference will depend on how much effort they put into enforcement.
My wife has been driving 30 years
And to this day, she has never been tested.
They seriously need to put more effort into catching drunks and drugged drivers.
😂You've Been super active, fit, and are on BP tablets?
Goes to show you should have enjoyed life a tad more you don't know what you've missed.
I quit smoking when I was 21 ...63 now, played contact sport, drank like a fish, partied hard...
slowed up large ... haven't had a hang over for 13 yrs...
I'm on BP medication too... but I bet I'm a bit heavier than you....
And I've been off work since February with spinal disc and sciatic problems.
But I've had a great sampling of life up to then.
