Great to hear from you Card and good update. We are in your corner. I’ll let Kind take the exercise piece.
Something that I learned from a person who got their drinking where they wanted to was to honestly evaluate the benefits of drinking, like specifically what you get out of it, and to question some of the culturally promoted mythical so-called benefits. Then next she experimented on what the sweet spot was: 1 drink, 2, 3?
She discovered that 2 drinks was best for her. I’m not suggesting that a person should or shouldn’t drink - lots of variables to consider. Just emphasizing you are in the drivers seat Card. You control you.
