    I’m pretty sure that the alt walking through that door tomorrow will be 100 times better than the alt who walked out of it a few weeks ago.

    Enjoy the family time. I’m sure your son and wife will both be over the moon to have you back with a renewed sense of purpose. 

    Get your game face on and beat this addiction once and for all.

    Glad to hear you're in a better frame of mind. I have total admiration for people who've come out addiction intact. If anyone pointed to a successful recovering addict and said "he/she used to be a coke head" I would admire them and not judge them. I can't even stop biting my nails. 
    You need to get rid of the coke head guy who lives with his wealthy parents. This isn't a man to be envious of. Anyone relying on family wealth is looked down on in my circles (there are a few), and is often the target of ridicule! 

    I'd focus on all the things you're doing right, like running a successful business providing a livelihood for you and your employees. I may earn well but I am jealous of this. I'm chained to a desk getting shouted at for problems outside my control. Don't balls it all up by overreaching for instant gratification.

    Good luck for today Alt. 

    Don't worry too much about the finances. They will still be there once you have settled back in at home. Spend some quality time with your wife and son instead.

    Welcome home (when you get there). Forget the finances for the weekend and just enjoy being home with your family. Work, money etc can wait a few days.
