>>Well, that's not why I am taking the out of state job. In fact it will be more of a challenge to stay sober off by myself in some temporary living arrangement. Simply put, I need the money and have not been able to find work around here. You know as well as anyone how little VFP work there is. And I have had no luck finding .NET work. It's tough to make a transition any time and in this economy, when companies say they want A, B, C, and D, they mean it. There are a lot of openings but they all seem to want at least 3 years of experience in the particular .NET language.

Thanks. It's definitely a top priority. And if I fall back into bad habits, I will have to leave. That should help keep me motivated.
