yes me too. I wish I am. But then why rich and popular people tends to do suicide and use drugs? Is it because they have so much money that they can afford drugs? they can afford prostitutes, they can afford to do party all night. and why rich people tends to oppress poor people just to get what they wanted, and they always get what they wanted because they are rich, they can even twist justice with their money.
1 Timothy 6:3-9 ESV
3If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound[SUP]b[/SUP] words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 4he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. 6But godliness with contentment is great gain, 7for we brought nothing into the world, and[SUP]c[/SUP] we cannot take anything out of the world. 8But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
Matthew 6:19-21 ESV
19“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust[SUP]e[/SUP] destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Do drugs have dominion over you if you can't stop doing drugs? Why do think it is any different with sin? Read Romans 6 again. Paul says .... "God forbid" as to the answer to the question, "Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound?" At the end of that chapter Paul makes the point that you yield yourself to whom you obey. For one is either...
1. A Slave to sin (or)
2. A Slave to Righteousness.
Have I stopped sinning?
I don't abide in unrepentant sin that leads unto death. There are days I do not sin. But I believe I will be a slave to righteousness soon because I believe God and His Word (See 1 Peter 4:1 and Galatians 5:24).
