Well I’m not a writer, but here goes. I was always a workhorse, so much so that I would get a little green to help me keep going, and it worked for a long time—years—but then it seemed like that was not doing it anymore; so while doing that, I picked up another bad habit. This one made me feel all better, good enough to not even think about or notice the pain going on inside me. This kept on going till I could no longer walk. Anyway the turn for me was that I couldn’t walk very well or far, so I got away from bad elements, and I got through it myself and with the help of my wife. I was one of the lucky ones and was able to get over it.
Instead of picking up a pipe, maybe pick up a guitar—that’s what I do, then I turn on some Clapton and I’m good to go. My advice is this: Don’t get started on a beer or smoking anything. Pick good people to hang out with—your family, God, and maybe even Clapton!
