I cannot, for the life of me, ever manage to rid my life of all of my vices at the same time.
If I'm not drinking, then I'm eating terrible food or smoking lots of cigarettes.
If I'm eating healthy and exercising, I'm invariably drinking enough to counteract it.
When I quit smoking last year, I also managed to start exercising and eating healthy. The alcohol intake rose substantially.
It's not even a voluntary choice.
At the current moment, I am eating quite healthily, exercising 4-5 times a week, and drinking in moderation...so, as you may have guessed, something about working on a particular transaction for 500 hours over two months turned me back into a smoker. (I know, I know. I made a public declaration last time, and here I am reaping the scorn for it.) So I'm basically going to try cut smoking again tomorrow...which has been back with a vengeance for about 3 months now, and see where that takes me. I imagine the healthy eating will remain, since I've built it so rigidly into my daily routines that I've gotten very used to it...so here's to hope.
P.S. Working on corporate transactions is stressful. Ugh.
P.P.S. And yes, I am a gay fish.

No one cares. Stop whining. Go listen to some Ingrid Michaelson and hang out with the other 'mos in the Village.
Wow, that was strangely cruel of me. I think I like it.
Perhaps saying it isn't voluntary is your way of justifying your behavior.
I tackle one vice (singularly) at a time if I feel they need to go, and often they aren't replaced with another. But having something good to replace the old (bad) one with might help.
Interesting point, though I have no interest in justifying it, both because it's annoying and would like to stop, but also because there wasn't anyone to justify it to since no one was aware of it.
That being said, I'm doing fairly well with it now.
