It's a teaching opportunity. I don't want to say I'm a saint because I got most of my wisdom the hard way. I haven't drank or used a drug in almost 4 years. I don't participate in irresponsible sex. Life has some rules. Religious or not, we all pay karmas bill when she comes calling. I prefer positive, trusting relationships where I can be counted on and where I can also count on the other person. I have those with with my gf and my kids. I prefer less work and an easier life. I get that when I'm not blowing money on alcohol, drugs, gambling (4 years no gambling) or impulse spending.

I've lived 35 years of just doing whatever I wanted and it didn't work out. So now I'm committed to goodness and love and responsibility. I must say, it's not boring at all and full of happiness. Sad to see people drawn to the traps. They look like fun and for parts are, but yet so much more expensive than it's worth. It's a trap!
