pineapplefriedricePeople of Lemmy who have either "reinvented themselves" or gone through a mid/quarter-life crisis, where did you start off and where did you end up?
I went from an in debt jobless alcoholic that really did not want to live, to being pretty much debt free (car loan) and having a six figure job that I’m really doing well in.
The turning point was meeting my best friend/soul mate and not accepting who I had turned into. I got a job and really worked my ass off to catch up, quit drinking, then quit smoking, and then things just started turning around. I’d really like to say it was from all the hard work, and maybe it was, but I can’t help but feel I just got lucky.
alternativeninjaAs a 28 year old lazy scraping by alchohlic I hope my brains not too fucked up. It’s only when I see posts like this that I (generally temporarily) reflect on it.
I’ve struggled with substance abuse. Get sober and give it 6 months. The human brain is amazing, it will snap back. Just gotta give it a chance to adjust.
