Jude,
Looking in the mirror and faced the facts long ago. Have some control even if tenuous on external expenses outside of music stuff, but like you said,possibly no cure. As long as breathing, always seeking.
About the new teenage generation, it is obvious that they were all straight and narrow up til now. What have we become.
Saw may years ago a long article about how the society was in peril with the new generation of teens. Rejecting status quo and abandoning their cultural roots. Society on the verge of collapse with a new wave of indiscipline and anarchy. Downfall is certain.
Article was from Russia in the 1400's.
