Yeah... every day. You suck it up.
Dean Martin explained why he drank alcohol: "When I wake up I don't want to think, this is the best I'll feel all day!"

For 15 years I worked at the same factory/shop.
Almost EVERY day I woke up so stressed out that I vomited before going to work.
By the time I had become disabled, I was hospitalized after vomiting up a couple pints of blood.
I nearly bled to death.
1/3 of my stomach had to be cauterized.
As I am getting older, I feel a hundred times better than when I was supposed to be young and healthy.
In my twenties I was told by doctors that I've got the vascular system of an eighty year old.
Boy, did it feel like it too.
But, now, with less exertion and stress it is not so bad.
Maybe I'm becoming Benjamin Button or something.
