There was a time in my life that I landed a great deal of money. It didn't last as I fed an addiction to some pretty risky lifestyle choices (namely dangerous outdoor pursuits). It all came to a sudden end - and the withdrawl and grieving the loss of the ability to do so was horrible and life consuming.

Well this time last year I was awarded a lumpsum payment from veterans's affairs Canada for the traumas and human rights violations I endurred for my years in the Navy.

You got it - I've been burning through that too.

I am assuming this is a usual thing within the BP community. Has anyone come up with strategies to combat this happening?
