From my couple years of going to rehab, there are 5 things that contribute.

Diet, exercise, genetics, stress and smoking. Of course the only one we can't do anything about is the genetics.

I will never forget the first session with probably 40 couples in attendance (spouses included) when the instructor said "12 ounces of red meat a week."

I stood up in total shock, what? I eat more than that every day! She said back calmly, "how is that working out for you?"

My big fear is what will occur in rehab ...I have already heard some horror stories.
