A house, a wife, a housewife, or a househusband and - ahem - kids. All of those are a recipe for severe money worries. LOL!!! But sober, you have a shot at having all of those things, including the joy and happiness that come with all of that. Drinking you will never have any of it, and every drink you take from this day forward will move you further and further away from whatever it is that would make you happy.
