You have to worry about bills, about food, about some football team that never fucking wins, about human relationships and all the things that don't really matter when you've got a sincere and truthful junk habit.

What it means
Our interpretation.
Renton lists ordinary worries and dismisses them as insignificant beside a drug habit he calls sincere and truthful. The assessment belongs to the fictional speaker; it is not a reliable account of addiction or advice to replace those responsibilities with drug use.
