Now I think of it, I played sports but not 'officially'. I basically played outdoors, almost daily, especially loads of soccer and all kinds of old fashioned outdoor children's games. Only at the age of 14, I started going to a sports club to play badminton. A couple of years later also table tennis/ ping-pong. And in Uni tennis, squash, basketball and, briefly, boxing haha.
I only smoked from the age of 17 to 19 and very little and perhaps 10 times afterwards. I started drinking a bit at the age of 14 though and more intensely around 17, heavily at age 18 ( Uni ).
Haha, you seem to have been very much into sports after all. But I understand, I also wasn't so organized with it, in the sense that I didn't compete or play in an official team or anything. Except air rifle shooting. I was competing in that sport from the age of seven up until 12 or 13 I think. But that's another kind of sport I guess...I really enjoyed it though.
Yeah. I also started drinking at the age of 14 and I have had many years of partying rather hard. I guess I wanted to balance it with also working out quite hard. But back then it 'worked', I was so full of energy and felt invincible. Different times, for sure. I guess I was young, haha.
