IT'S NOT FAIR!! I also had quite smoking, cut way back on any drinking, playing ball 3-4 nights a week, in other words doing all the things that I should be doing. Spent a lot of time wondering WHY?. Spent even more time bugging the doctors to find out WHY? After the next four years I finally just said, I got it. The first year or two I was very rigid with myself with food, medication, lifestyle. Did not seem to work well for me in the long run. Later I made the decision that I would not deprive myself of at least my annual margarita. While still fighting the battle every day, I remind myself that this is JUST A CONDITION, not who I am. I make sure that when I indulge it is within reason and is with the people that I care about. The food things are just a habit that everyone should work towards anyway. Not always easy but something that can be integrated into the process of living. As someone who seems to be an active, healthy guy this should not be something that should get you down. Keeping up your always sparkling attitude , surrounding yourself with your loved ones, and enjoying life to the BAX, that's the way to make it through this little bump. Let me know if I can help. Call me anytime. That all around sweet guy Trustar
