How did you reach that point and what was it like bouncing back from it?

Don't feel discouraged from sharing if your lowest point doesn't compare to someone else's. We're all fighting our own battles.

Losing my mother tragically at the age of 14...completely changed my development growing as a man and the way I sought out my place in this world
 
I think I am at this point now. No job, no money, I don't know who I am anymore or I'll have spurts where I'm just lost as hell with the direction I'm going in my life.
 
Hmm Gona make it short

Well it was when I was sixteen

Depressed like a mother

One day after fighting with my bro I wanted out of this life

My brother watched me take a bed sheet And make a Noose out of it
TrIed to hang myself from the bathroom door

I was almost "there " till he saved me

I hated him for a long time for doing that

I'll be ok
 
This bout a month apart in 08:
Interviewed but didn't get my dream job
Dropped out of college
Got laid off from my current job at the time
My lil bro gets locked up
Find out my girl is pregnant
all while still livin at my mommas house ( this coupled wit everything was my worst fear)

Ended up losing ALL my confidence for a long time.

I was homeless for awhile living in the park w homeless people and ordering a $1 mcchickens from McDonald's and taking a couple of bites and returning the mchcicken to McDonald's and gettingg a brand new one after I complained. The struggle was real but I was able to get out the streets.

About a year ago I was very close to getting kicked out of my school and had no money. Was selling my plasma for gas money to get to class. **** was not fun, but I'm in a much better state of mind and place now
 
2012. No money. No job. Sleeping on the floor of a trap house after I stole a dirty *** air mattress tat had no air in it. Girl at the time cheated on me with her ex. Eventually ended up at job Corp. Three years later I'm two semesters away from a degree and I'm with the woman who will most likely be the mother of my children and my wife.

Next week will be 6 months I gave up drinking. Within a month I broke my exes windshield, ran away to NYC to stay with a alcoholic who I ended up trashing her apartment over a fight, never spoke again. Got slapped for talking to slick to my friends friend(chick). Came back to California, got robbed by two prostitutes while one was in the back giving me wop. Hella dumb. End up getting choked out by my ex's brother in law the same night. I could not make that up

 Mind you all of this was on Henny and or Tequila mixed with some type of meds. All of 2014 was spent gone all the way into February 2015.

Since then I still hit the herb but no more Henny or pills for me. I rarely go out and have no toxic women in my life. I haven't missed a day of work, work out every day. I'm bored as hell, and agitated. I'm used to drama in my life and action. But it is what it is. I had to do it...

It was baaaddd for a long time. These are things that finally caught up to me, like a culmination. I was a zombie with an addiction to prosititutes. All while having a chick. So its a 180 completely. No more pro's since the night I got got. Hopefully, never. It ruined my aura, my soul. I don't know if I believe in Karma but I've gotten quality amount of bad luck. But tis is life. No matter what it never is to late for a comeback. Keep Going. Release the ego.

damn . Did you spend a lot of $$ on ladies of the night?
 
I hope this doesn't sound dumb but why were you addicted to prostitutes, especially when you had a girl? What's the story behind that?

I'm not blaming the drank or the pills. But before any ho run I was zoooted off the Meds and the Drank. It was a story of having my girl who is the wholesome chick(not really) but you know what i'm saying. And getting off on a nasty dirty chick going ham on my D. Double life type stuff. Every single time I felt like utter trash and every other week or so I'd be on the prowl again. I'm ashamed of it and my soul suffered a lot of punishment. I'm still working to get it back. Never in my life would I imagined getting to that level. But I did.
