I live alone, dont have anyone to lean on even if I wanted to. Well I got a spoiled as shit Dog. I would like to stop drinking, notice I didnt say want to. I use to work out and am still in reasonable shape so it wouldnt take much to do it again but where is the motivation? I know all about the dopamine shit by drinking. Being knowledgeable about it doesnt help at all.

Fuck, maybe it does just boil down to man up. I just wish I had a reason besides myself.

Start small man. If you usually start drinking as soon as you come home from work and stop drinking at midnight. Then all next week find some reason to wait 10-15 minutes to start drinking and stop at 11:45. Do it for a week. Now make it 30 minutes and stop at 11:30.

For working out, if your not drunk already, get down and do as many push-ups as you can right now. Maybe it's 5, maybe it's 500. Do one set and be done. Now do that the rest of the week. Next week at some small percentage. Maybe it's 6 or 510 depending on where you started. In two weeks, do two sets of 6 or 510.

If you're regularly doing pushups then buy at pullup bar. I recommend "Perfect Fitness Multi-Gym Doorway Pull Up Bar" because the part that goes against the door molding is flat and doesn't dent it. You could probably pick one up on offer up for like $5-10.

If you can do pull ups and push ups regularly I'd look into a book like "Convict Conditioning." It's on the various torrent sites.

Don't be hard on yourself if you slip up. Look to the long term. Hope you end up getting where ever you're trying to go. Everything takes time. Do what you can and change in small increments. Good luck.
