Well, my friend, I appreciate your honesty, and many never get to that "realization point", so you're at least that far ahead of the game. Generally, society still thinks "once a burnout, always a burnout", and to some extent that's true, but if you really want to, I think you'll be okay. Just don't get too confident. What happens many times, people like you turn around "just enough" to get in, then, on Super Bowl weekend, you go for that "Super Bowl", thinking, it will be fine, and Whaam, then we hear about the drug testing fiasco and "what to do next"? Usually there's some motivation for a "turnaround", like a dame, or crisis, but at 31, you have a ways to go, hopefully, and retirement comes up fast and I see the ones that didn't plan well,,living in cars. Best of luck, keep us posted, eh?
