Discipline/lack of and atheism

[Astreja]

I would like to hear about atheists and how they do with self-discipline, self-regulation and responsibility as well as atheist parents who regulate discipline on their kids.

• I drink alcohol, but not every day and generally only 1 serving. On special occasions, 2-3 times a year, I may have 3 glasses of wine; that's the most I ever drink.  I also decided when I got my driver's license that I would never drink and drive, and in the 15+ years I've been driving I've never violated that rule.
  
• Not interested in any form of illicit drugs, and I've never smoked tobacco.
  
• My house mortgage and car loan are both paid in full.  I have 1 credit card that's usually paid off every month with no missed payments.  Utility bills are all current.  Savings and investments are by auto-withdrawals twice a month, and in total I'm putting away about 25% of my take-home pay.
  
• Attendance record at work is close to 100%, and I'm usually in the office 15 minutes before start time.  On the rare occasion that I am late, usually  because of a bus problem, I make up the missed time.  Also regularly on time for band practices and performances, for music lessons, and for other group activities.
  
• Not currently in a relationship, but I have a strong preference for monogamy.
  
• I have arthritic knee and foot joints that make it painful to exercise, but I like to do some sort of outdoors activity on Sundays (a long walk in the warm weather, snowshoeing in the wintertime).  Sometimes I go to the gym or go swimming, and in the summer I'm out working in the garden several days a week.
  
• House is mostly tidy, except for a room currently being renovated.  Dishes and laundry are done regularly.
  
• I do like to eat out now and then, but most meals are prepared at home from scratch.  Good selection of healthy stuff in the pantry, and I keep on top of expiry dates and clear out old stuff regularly.  Supper leftovers usually get taken for lunch the next day.  Usual beverages are black coffee, tea with a bit of milk (no sugar in either of them), or tap water (plain or with a squeeze of lemon).
  

The only major place where I need to improve is getting to bed at a reasonable hour, and that's been a problem for me since I was a child.
