I think the single biggest threat to my sobriety is the image of me sipping wine under the palms in retirement. I cannot seem to shake it. It's a daydream I have had for decades and it is pretty detailed; I even know exactly what type of wine and can almost taste it. If I stick to the plans I have made, I will be retired in a little under 5 years. I will be doing some poking around looking at candidate palm trees sooner than that. My wife has no interest in going but is encouraging me to find a reasonably priced "fishing cottage" to chase away my winter blues. It's like the perfect storm...
