27M. Alcohol and my high caffeine consumption have been ruining my life. I quit both and suddenly I realized I woke up from a 5 year long sleep. Alcohol was making me depressed, unmotivated, sick and even suicidal. Caffeine was adding fuel to the fire by making me anxious, impulsive and crave alcohol. Never had a moment of clarity. My goal in life was to start a business, I had the money and time but my addictions prevented me from doing that. I wasted all my savings on impulsive useless purchases. I even bought expensive phones, shoes etc out of my savings. I’m physically, mentally and financially ruined. I’m going to be broke soon and have health issues that prevent me from doing my work. I can’t even socialize anymore. The amount of money I’ve wasted is staggering. I was a kind of guy who never spends unless necessary before starting drinking a lot of coffee I could’ve been running a business and bought a house by now if I was calm and managed my finances instead of being stressed out 24/7 and sleep-deprived. I’m ending my life, I can’t live with these regrets, it’s so embarrassing. submitted by /u/redditor8246
