im with sammielynn on the drinking/smoking. it totally goes hand in hand. i had to quit smoking to work out but when id drink, the urge to smoke was strong. im not an angel, ill occasionally have a cig with a bacardi and diet coke. but no one said this wud be easy! quitting one helped quit the other. except for the night i drank a 2 liter bottle of Asti champagne to myself LOLOL.

whats really scary is when u think about how alcohol is such an integral part of our societies culture. a party is usually just another way to say 'reason to gather and drink'. no drinking for 30 days is an awesome idea, alot of people think they need to have alcohol to have fun. unfortunately i used to date a guy who had me convinced he was NOT an alcoholic. what was really a shame is he was an accomplished martial artist who had alot of physical and mental strength. the alcohol is what ended our relationship and he never realized what it was doing to his health, not to mention us. i think about that everytime i feel the urge to have a drink just so i can have fun. i learned alot just by watching him dig himself a hole. the last i heard, he went to rehab but still fought the docs on being labeled an actual alcoholic. yes, this is an extreme example but becuz it is extreme, i can keep myself in check.

I TOTALLY agree on the Slipknot lol. When I'm on my gyms elyptical (sp?) machine, I listen to Lamb of God (not a christian band) they use alot of double bass drumming and I keep a great pace. Bleeding Through has an amazing ability to make my adrenaline SURGE. I told my trainer I use mosh pits for extra exercise
