From when I was 16 up until the age of 22 I was into a lot of partying, using recreational drugs and binge drinking. I can't control my anger when I am intoxicated from Alcohol and being on Anti-Depressants for Anxiety and Depression didn't help at all. I've tried to commit suicide from over dosing. When I think about it now I feel like a complete idiot and a very selfish one. I used to go the gym 3-4 a week but that didn't seem to stop the partying. So I decided to try Muay Thai and from this day today I love it. I have stopped Alcohol completely and I feel like a complete different person. It's helped a lot with my depression and anxiety. I've even reduced my medication due to Muay Thai. The level of fitness I get from Muay Thai is outstanding. I'ts a natural high! Who needs drugs. Just like the saying, Drugs are for mugs. All I can say is keep at your goal and don't let anything in the way. My head is held high and I feel great, thanks to this Martial Art I have been learning :ultracool.
