The problem is that it takes someone else to remind you to do the thing often enough and with enough impetus to make it a habit
Which will only last until the first time you're sick and can't, and then that habit is gone
I played guitar for 3 years until I cut the tip of my finger off with a mandolin. Literally haven't touched it since
If you haven't heard of Tony Iommi, he was (is?) the guitarist for Black Sabbath who cut two of his fingertips off, on his fretting hand, in some kind of shop accident at work.
Despite this, he popped on a couple of thimbles and proceeded to basically invent the power chord and was a pioneer of guitar riffage.
You only lost one, so you've already got one-up on him!
Django Reinhardt had pretty bad damage to his fretting hand too from a fire, and that dude shredded like no other.
Literally lol... Forced constraints and limitations are often a huge impetus for creating great art.
