Should I stay or should I go

Paige did not just happen everything about her has required work and conscious effort.  From hair colour to exercise there has been a conscious decision.  In a sense have been a bit blundering around and moving towards a rather nebulous goal, picking off all the easy choices. The taking of the hormones took a lot of thought but, like all so far, was initially easy.  OK it was done after research and a lot of thought but, so far, thee has been no significant consequences.  So we are at, say, 5 months.  If I continue much longer the breasts and nipples may well be obvious, I may be sterile, not that that is a big issue.  The point being I am still bumbling along, making do and it has worked so far. 
This will not continue.  Hard choices have to be made sooner rather than later.  How much do I want to sacrifice for Paige?  Proper transition, real life experience, going into the NHS system.  Stopping drinking.  Different job.  I have not even made any effort  to get the voice right.  Perhaps drop to 1 mg per day or every other day as it does help to keep me on an even keel.  UltimatELY IT GOES BACK TO THE QUESTION; HOW MUCH OF A GIRL ARE YOU?   Answers please, on a postcard.  There have been some very brave actions so far, more than some have done, but were not required to do, there is no obligation to go any further.
