Slackbladder, you're not alone. I'm also a PPL on the road to CPL. It's a long road for sure, but look on the bright side, your lack of family commitments mean you will be responsible to no one. My situation is that with a wife and child, I have little or no excess time. Time is the one thing I just can't buy. Hence why I've seen the far side of midnight on more than one occasion studying the books after a 12 hour day at work.
Good luck. You'll get there if you want it bad enough, or so they tell me!
