So the whole weed/alcohol thing is part of your identify. Do you see yourself as a drinker / pot smoker? If you can flip the switch so it's not a matter of stopping -- it's just not who you are anymore, that changes everything.

My two cents worth says do what you will about the weed/booze/sugar/chocolate thing.
Lotsa people do weed/booze/etc and handle they business affairs just fine, eg Hunter B.
Do weed/booze show a correlation to P/L in black and white? How much?
But before you go on that wild goose chase why not get to the cutting edge of
your situation and verify the effectiveness of your trading plan.
What makes you think that it works?

Followed plan all day and day went in my direction - could have done without the end of day rally.
Daily P&L 2574 - all from options - pairs trades lost -737 today.
I need to start distributions from my trading account - otherwise I'll run out of money in Feb 2024 - so I'll start distributing 7.000 each month.
Monthly performance: 23447
Raw trading performance (account growth if there were no distributions): 30447
Hoping Feb looks similar

It's hard to define what "works" means.
Here's the data i have:
It works most days, it works most month, it works most years.
It's highly skewed towards small winners and large losers.
It usually works better than putting a similar amount of $$$ into the S&P.
It didn't work last year, it didn't work in 2016.
Still confident - these outlier days are painful.
I make money from little moves and noise in the market - if there is an actual signal I often get crushed. Having said that usually the option premium gain accounts for these monster move days but today it didn't. Same with pairs trades - they were up before the announcement
