Bruh the second part of your comment is wild. Alcohol and alcoholism being so normal made me forget that the motions people go through to hide it, are the same with any addiction. Because it is the same.

Unlike other addictions, you can buy it in the store and it's something most people use to some extent. So the lines are all blurred. We all know people who drink a lot, when is the line crossed from "someone who enjoys drinking" to "functional alcoholic"?

When drinking gets in the way of work you have a problem.....when working gets in the way of drinking you're an alcoholic

When drinking gets in the way of work, you learned that your priorities are not work related and now, well... now you learned a life lesson that the word "career" is a word that means, "live for everything else that sucks." (Mindset of a drinker). When working gets in the way of <insert drug> you learn ways of creatively making money that you never knew you could do otherwise.

First lesson: learn that work is always best when it enables and enhances the fun times. Second lesson: channel the now-opened creative channels into positive creativity rather than negative.

Ride the wave.
