Martial arts and social vices

I was a smoker for a bunch of years, tried everything to quit but it stuck hard. Vaping actually did help me get off cigarettes and I could tell right away my breathing and cardio got a lot better, which was a relief after always feeling winded. But now, even with vapes, the urge is still there and I guess the habit just shifts instead of going away totally. Iā€™ll probably have a cigar at special occasions because itā€™s something I enjoy, but nicotine is just tough to kick. If youā€™re also looking into ways to manage the vaping habit, I saw some folks talk about switching up their devices or flavors to break the routine. Like trying out a tank system such as the geekvape z that offers more control than disposables, so itā€™s easier to cut down.
 
i have several minor disabilities i can`t do anything like that! namely a balance problem, Ive showed up at class with people wondering about me{at first) is he drunk or on something, very hard even after 60 years, but nothing else to do except go on!!!!

My goto phrase is 'I stagger around like a drunk monkey'! I certainly get some looks and questions at time.
Really jacked up leg/foot with prosthetics and a serious TBI will do that for ya. Hard to reconcile the 'who I was' with the 'who I am now', but I still get up and go to work every day so all is good IMHO.

Your disability is not a vice but something youā€™ve clearly tamed with your MA training. Thatā€™s truly admirable.

Now tell us about your proper vices! Do you drink hooch until you wake up and find yourself naked in a supermarket car park at midday with little old ladies looking at you, disapprovingly? Do smoke anything that will burn or touch yourself a little too much than doctors recommend or binge on Mars Bars šŸ˜ <ahem>

MARS BARS AGAIN?
 
I did have a blip 5 days after I quit. Smoked 5 or 6 cigarettes about a week ago and then gave the rest of the packet to some drunk dude and haven't smoked since.

Please donā€™t be! If it wasnā€™t for potent pharmaceuticals Iā€™d be snaffling at Mar Bars chopped up into double cream, poured into a wooden trough just like a hungry pigs might eat a mash of apples, oats and potatoes that have been marinated in ChĆ¢teau Lafite Rothschild!šŸ·šŸ–
