This is a great thread, as this type of discussion helped me when I made the decision to go 24/7. Knowing that I could continue to have an active and productive life in diapers and continue doing the things I like to do made the decision and transition much easier.
I have been officially retired from my full-time Fire Department job for a week today (Yay!) but am still running a business, involved in local politics, serve on various boards, go to the gym, and soon will start a new part-time gig as a firefighter/paramedic (it stays in your blood). With the exception of having to plan ahead, wearing a diaper has not affected my ability to lead a normal life. In fact it has helped in many ways - I don't worry about accidents in public, I sleep better at night because wet spots aren't waking me up, etc.
I guess I'm similar to RC-UK, in that for the most part I just tape on my diapers and keep going. A handful of people at the FD knew about my situation (and one of the guys walked in on me changing my diaper in the restroom - OOPS! Double check those locks...) and it was never an issue. As far as I know, no one notices that I'm in a diaper, and if anyone has noticed, they never brought it up. I am actually surprised at how much of a non-issue wearing a diaper is. At this point, it has become so routine that my wife doesn't even think about it anymore, either. So yes, you can definitely have an active and fulfilling life while being incontinent!
