That means: no cigarettes, booze, or drugs, taking my medication as prescribed, eating right, exercising, and at least one more very important element. That important ingredient involves my ability to refrain from romantically pursuing unavailable women. Nothing undermined my mental and emotional stability more in the old days than my tendency to get caught up in my obsessions with unavailable women. I figure that a robust\ ability to take care of myself in all of the above areas, especially the area involving women, will contribute more to whatever success I may achieve than finding that one gatekeeper and pleasing that person to the extent that they need pleasing.
