I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.

You've exhausted the resources for alcoholism treatment and counseling?
You've exhausted the resources for family counseling?
You've made arrangements with family, friends and employer to let them know what you've decided, so as not to increase the burdens they might already have in their lives, related and unrelated to you?
You've stopped focusing-forward 10 years and are satisfied with looking only as far as the next 10 minutes?
You've essentially given in to alcoholism. Have your family and friends done the same?

No one can stop you. This is a discussion forum, not a police precinct.
But it remains baffling how you could make such an irreversible decision without first purging the cloud of oppression you've been under since you were 16.
