Regardless, everyone is medicated on something.

What work do you do now?

@@featwizzle5517 I own a commercial carpentry business.

@@sterlthepearl1000 True. I was anti drug as they come. I hurt my back and the "Good Dr" prescribed me "medicine". I was ignorant to the fact that it was monopolized herion. I didnt even like the way it made me feel, and had issues falling asleep. Doc said no worries, your body will get use to it. Then gradually raised my dose. The dr nor the pharmacist warned me about the addiction, tolerance increase, mood swings nor the withdraw. I didnt realize, or admit to myself, that I was a junkie, until I went on vacation 18 months later. I forgot my meds and had the worse week of my life.... Crazy withdrawal. I said to myself Id never touch them again. But as soon as I got home I ate a handful. From therr things just got far worse as my tolerance increased. I was turned out by drug dealers/salesman in white coats, who we are conditioned to trust. Fortunately, I got my girlfriend pregnant, and valued my sons wellbeing over my addiction. I made a promise to him 14years ago that I will keep to the end. He saved my life. I have 3 boys now and they are my world, my purpose...... My Drug.

Same thing for me man, good luck in your journey, I hope you succeed in everything you work for..

I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in.I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, i'm locked, loaded and ready to go

@@harleycartley3138 a very simple method to build wealth over time is being consistent and i can't stress this enough seek advice and guidance, not doing this in this market is like telling a med student to perform surgery without a licensed surgeon's assistance lol, personally i use James Fletcher Brennan, the best CFA i've worked with

@@ericwilde4583 That’s great , your investment advisor must be really good,I have seen testimonies of people using the help of investment advisors in making them more financial stable. Do you mind sharing more info on this person?

@Chris Anthony. James Fletcher Brennan, Look him up he's quite a popular CFA, he'd put you through the procedures of achieving your dream portfolio. Goodluck

​@@ericwilde4583 looked him up on the internet and left him a message, thanks

You can do it I was an alcoholic for 10 yrs and now I’ve been sober for 3 yrs and I feel better then I’ve ever felt before I trust in you!

Do not drink the first peg . That’s the rule of thumb to quit. You will thank me later . Just the first peg . That’s all . God give you strength .

Sounds like you have mate! You can't beat someone who never quits!

As a young boy, I was known for my gentle heart and boundless optimism. I had dreams-big dreams-of becoming someone who would make a difference, someone who could uplift others. Life, it seemed, had so much to offer. But slowly, like quicksand pulling me under, drugs and alcohol began to erode my spirit. My dreams started to dissolve into a haze of substance abuse. My unborn child was lost, and the love of my life walked away, unable to bear the man I had become. Everything seemed surreal, like a twisted version of what my life was supposed to be. People who once saw potential in me were now laughing at the wreckage I had become. The aspiration to be a software engineer, which once seemed like a lofty but attainable goal, now felt like a joke. I was drowning in a sea of shame and misery, and in that despair, I tried to end my life. Not just once, but twice. That’s when life forced me into a corner. At 29, I was put into a rehab program for 30 days. I came out of that experience a changed man-sober and more committed than ever. That first year was all about rediscovering myself, focusing intensely on mental health, and personal growth. It was during this transformative phase that I met the woman who would become my wife, and we welcomed a beautiful son into our family. At 30, reinvigorated and clear-eyed, I set my sights again on my long-lost dream of becoming a software engineer. Within just 8 months of relentless studying, I achieved what many thought impossible-I landed a job as a software engineer. By 31, I had a fulfilling job, a loving family, and a home of our own. Financially stable and mentally resilient, I achieved a complete turnaround in a remarkably short time. Those years I thought were wasted? They’ve become my most invaluable lessons. The agony of almost losing myself has fueled an indomitable will to never return to that abyss. It’s a force that propels me every single day to seize the opportunities life offers, with both hands. If you’re struggling, if you’re in that dark place and need someone to talk to, don’t hesitate to DM me. Your life has so much untapped potential, and sometimes all it takes is one meaningful conversation to begin unlocking it. I don’t need anything in return. Let my story be your inspiration that no matter how far you’ve fallen, it’s never too late to rise.

I feel I have a duty to "recover out loud". I want to give people hope that if this guy, who was homeless and relapsed over 20 times, can get clean AND start a business where he's making 3-5k in his pocket every week...well dammit if he can do it, so can I. Stay strong and make meetings!

@@AMateofAndrews hey I saw your comment and I saw you have 5 months clean from the same thing that messed my life up so bad. Which is awesome man, people don’t realize how addictive that shit is, literally worse then herion. I only have about 2 1/2 months personally which before this I would get maybe a couple weeks here and there but I really do believe that addictive mindset can be extremely helpful if you make it out of the unhealthy addictions and channel that addictive mindset into healthy addictions which is what I’m working on now but it is a process and I have those days still where it’s on my mind but I just let it pass. But keep up that progress not just for you but everyone else out there in our situation buddy
