Alcohol. If I'm honest I never really liked it, I only drank to be sociable and never at home. Since I turned 50 the smallest glass makes me feel awful- red hot, burning face, headache, sick. I ignore the people who think you can't enjoy yourself without a drink.

I get the burning face too. I’ve never heard anyone else mention it.

Men. My mental and physical health has been much better without the stress a partner causes!

Smoking - stopped about 12 years ago. Highly recommended

Drinking 4-5 bottles of wine every weekend 🤦🏻‍♂️ I still drink alcohol and really enjoy it, but it's 2-3 drinks over the weekend these days. Honestly can't believe how much I used to put away 😲

Being an exercise refuser. These days I'm in the gym 3 times a week and doing walks or yoga on the other days, and I feel a hundred times better than I used to

Sadly, coffee. I was having palpitations (ok from dr) and stopped it to see if it helped. It has. I hate decaff. Tea doesn't seem to set them off. But I don't enjoy tea. I enjoy coffee and miss it.
