This statement makes me laugh…everytime I hear it. You don’t “try” the “super health thing” you DO healthy things for an extended period of time. Following natural law isn’t a fluke and it’s not one of those things that doesn’t work sometimes and then work others. The problem is always the person making the statement, hands down.
Joe, can I ask how long have you tried the “super health thing?” How long have you abstained from alcohol and bad foods and how long have you done hardcore workouts while cycling various supplements, day in, and day out. From your posts I gather you’re young…not the best demographic for self control and sticking to a difficult endeavour. You need to make lifestyle changes, not try and do these things. “Trying” will never yeild any results. It’s not a magic pill. None of those exist.
If you do the right things, the results will come. Using nutritional therapy and correct living takes time…more time then most people are willing to commit to, for various reasons. Mostly because we are creatures of habit and instant gratification. I know I wouldn’t be able to do it in college.
To clarify. I’m not cured, and I"m not perfect, but I am sure WAY better then I was before I started all of this. That’s blatantly obvious to me, and everyone around me. But then again I’m not trying these things. If there’s anything I do try, it’s alcohol once in awhile. The odd joint here or there…pizza. My point is I try the bad things, and live the good. I can always tell when I go off the reservation. You need to switch these things around if you want to make strides in your health. Believe me, there is no other way.
I’ve been following JN’s thread for quite sometime and it just seems to be one crash after the other. Feeling good, feeling high, then boom, down and out. I would love to be able to take that magic pill, even if it was for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t care. It doesn’t work that way my friend.
I know it’s hard, and it sucks, especially at your age…shit, at any age. But I’d much more rather be able to use my dick and have a relationship then get pissed (wasted for those of you not familiar with that expression). To be honest, I"d really like to do both, like a normal person can, but we aren’t normal anymore. We’re damaged. Some more then others. I can say that after all that I’ve done, I’m damaged. Living correctly makes living with the damage much more manageable.
