My unhealthy past

Back in those days smoking and drinking alcohol was cool. I therefore destroyed my youth smoking and drinking. I grew up unhealthy, weak and frail. I weighed a mere 39 kg when I was enlisted for NS. I wanted to gain weight but couldn’t because of my unhealthy lifestyle. I watched my grandfather suffered during his old age because of his smoking and drinking habits. One by one his organs failed. He had TB. His stomach, kidney, liver and finally his lungs failed him. He was in and out of the hospitals. He used to be able to travel to wherever he wanted but was reduced to the wheelchair. He really suffered before he went. That prompted me to change my lifestyle. One by one I saw my relatives dropping of like flies due to diseases. I got gastric when working hard and skipping meals or eating late when I started to work. I used to have to take MC almost every month. I really needed to change.
