Jimk,
My mother had a drinking problem for years. If it felt good, she was addicted to it (sex, X, etc.). The major problem for her was her marriage to my dad who was a bit of a control freak. She ended up getting stopped for drunk driving in 1986. My dad divorced her (best thing that ever happened to her), and she has been sober for 17 years now. She went back to school and got her Master's in Psychology and now helps people with their addictive behavior.
As for me, I'm lucky that I found the career I wanted right out of the gate. I may have to decide on whether I want management soon or not, but I genuinely like what I do.
