Another thing to note is all the things I can afford to do now, I'm in Canada and it's expensive to drink here, 24 beer is $50, it can add up quick over a weekend, tonight I'm taking my wife out to dinner and then to a movie at the VIP theatre, something that I was way to "cheap" to do before, because that money was spoken for, normally on a Friday my first thought was where's the party and where are we drinking tonight, those thoughts are gone already, already got our snowboard gear ready for the morning and getting ready to head to dinner, sure feels good to be in control of my life again.
