What did this hobby save you from?

Im sure we've all had some bad habits, or unhealthy habits, has fish helped break that? I had always had fish tanks growing up but it wasn't until recently I got back into it, a few months ago. Before getting into it I spent hours a night playing Xbox... I'm 21 and work full time, but I'd come home and play COD for 3-4 hours easily. I have turned my Xbox on 3 times since February. I find myself reading more about fish, looking at my tank, and in my spare time I run more now a days too. Anyone else have aquariums help get you off your bad habits?

I used to spend my time and money with some sketchy people/bad things and was getting into trouble but since I got my first tank that's how I spend my time and money(it sure isn't cheap haha) and started doing really well at work, I even got promoted today. Sounds cheesy to see it in writing but yeah fish got my life on track

Nothing. It just gave me an expensive habit.

That's taking it too far.

The way to fix this is to buy some frivolous things for her first before spending money on your "frivolous" things...

Just ask your mother(well, not in front of your wife, that would make things worse )

It saved me from the expensive hobby of collecting ancient roman coins, or greek coins or fossils or this and that.

A man has to have his hobbies. My wife now understands so I am happy to keep fish and not try to turn our house into a museum,
