i regret working myself into early alcoholism and it costing me my marriage.

i look back on life now and realize that me being a workaholic wasn't necessary. i was making damn good money with the career i had, but always needed MORE. wish the old me could tell the young me that you're rich enough and if you really want to make an impact on this world, be one of the few in your generation to celebrate a 50 year wedding anniversary.

my friend... if you're married, go home and kiss that spouse of yours.

Sorry man, I hope you have found peace and sobriety.
love this, thank you for sharing the advice
Yeah, good advice. Always hard to balance career vs personal life success.
