Venting Trapped again. I’m thinking about joining the military so I can gain my own independence but my Habits are bad

[Journeytoletgo]

1. Firstly constantly switching majors, the alcohol during school was a bad habit
2. Taking meds
3. Bad sexual habits
4. Phone addiction
5. Suicidal ideation

Not leaving the house sooner. I couldn't get into the school I wanted to go to because of bad grades in school. And now I think that because of all these bad habits I won't be able to even join the military

If you join the military, you wouldn't have any choice but to part with the bad habits.

There is no compromising, you sacrifice your comfort and "wants" from the start.

But, it could get you a path to independence, for sure.

I wish I would have seen my golden ticket when I had it, but I sabotaged my own military career and ended up right back at home in the same situation.
