I'm in my mid sixties, been self medicating for more than 50 years. i'll just go ahead and tell you i have no answers to these issues, about the only discipline Iv'e ever had is to same my money to buy more before I run out.
That said there is one thing that may or may not be helpful though as to when one comes to a time when they want or need to take a break, is use a slow taper method don't try and quit anything all at one. it's a lot easier on you psyche and system, you'll have a much better chance at success. And taking those brakes once in a while is what I give credit for my reasonably good health and ability to work 40 a week and enjoy and enjoy this stage of my life.

Oh, p.s. - alcohol is the most primitive medication there is, if you drink at all do it in moderation
