i can relate... i knew my dad's lifestyle was headed for disaster long before he died, and i tried countless times to convince him to get active, eat healthier, stop smoking, etc..

and this is a man who spent most of his adult life on drugs and booze and then actually had the willpower to quit those and go stone cold sober, at first through those sobriety clubs and then after a while just out of sheer habit and determination

so he had the will power to stop one self-destructive aspect of his life... and then 10 or so years later fell victim to other, more mundane vices

now i feel like i'm giving in to those very same impulses

i wish i had less bleak **** to say but it's been my experience that teaching old dogs new tricks is a fool's errand

best of luck to you anyway, pal
