Is anyone teetotal?

Yeah cycling is just as bad for it mate. I shattered my knee joint and cap playing rugby, had 5 ops and years of physio and it's not much better. I won't complain though, a lot of people have a permanent limp with the same injury so have it worse than me. Mine just tires easily and has trouble with stiffness and swelling due to scar tissue. I'd love to still be able to play rugby, that always kept me fit.

Ah that's a real shame.
I wonder if maybe swimming without kicking your legs too much would be a good workout that didn't aggravate the knee too badly.

In any case, don't write off just going to the gym and doing weights, at least it is something! It'd keep you busy in the evenings as well, as like you said, you don't enjoy being stuck in the house, better to go to the gym a few nights a week and the pub only a couple of times than go to the pub and drink all of those times?

The problem with cutting out something completely is that if you don't replace it with something it's much more difficult. Any activity that takes up a few evenings after work might be a good first step?
