Drinking/ Alcoholism

Hi yall. I recently got an offer from a BB in my country. Nice, right? Lemme vent for a bit. I've been an alcoholic for a while now. It's been a fun ride so far, but I'm very young and aware of the consequences. I don't even get drunk anymore. Anyway, one of the main reasons I chose IB (besides loving finance, etc) were the hours - working long hours and on weekends and being actually focused on something valuable will finally pull me out of this hell. I was cutting my life short and having something to look forward to now is a fucking blessing. Much love
