After not sleeping on it for the last 5 hours on a small, lumpy couch I have a new question/comment. You recommend me to "Not be impulsive any more." I don't know how to do that. I have been that way for as long as I can remember, some times it goes a long time without showing it's ugly head, others it's already screaming at me before I even realize it's there. How do I not do something I've always done, even though unintentionally? Do I need to get into a treatment program or a counselor? I am fairly sure I can't overcome this by myself, but I don't know where to start to look for help. Ideas?

Also, considering the state the marriage is currently in, I suppose it would be a bad idea to ask my wife for support and/or assistance in trying to deal with both the addiction and other mental issues? She's always been my best friend, the person I can count on to help me through the rough times, and now I don't know who to look to for support.
