I too have always worked out, even while drinking heavily. Work hard, play hard mentality has always been our gen's philosophy. Problem was...as my alcoholism progressed, it became harder and harder to keep up with my healthy lifestyle. Hangovers became acute, keeping me down for days. And when I did workout, I couldn't push it like I did when I was younger. Discipline is SO much easier once alcohol has been taken out of the equation. Today I workout 5-6 days per week, eat healthy and feel (and look) like myself again...not to mention how much more productive I have become.
