When did you realize that you were at your lowest point? Were you ever able to bounce back from it?

1. When I was getting blackout drunk every day.

   Yeah, I quit drinking and haven’t looked back. Things turned out alright for me.

2. >When did you realize that you were at your lowest point?

   I was far from my country, unemployed, some homeless guy tried to pull down my pants as i was squatting at someone’s abandoned(? house, my clothes smelled like shit and i had a really bad case of diarrhea and revolted stomach since i decided that accepting free drugs from some sketchy guy was a good way to deal with being sad.

   >Were you ever able to bounce back from it?

   I’m currently in my country, unemployed, own two houses, don’t smell like shit, not surrounded by homeless people or sketchy drug dealers and with pain on my ass since i decided that i could just self-medicate to treat an abscess that appeared inside my asshole.

   So, i bounced back from a shitty situation, but probably my shitty decision making skills will land me there again at some point.

3. 3.5 year old relationship with a son where she cheated on me and left me for someone else. I was back to living with my parents, I was helping run my own business and trying to keep it afloat, and I was trying to be a good father to my son while his mother tormented me almost every day and demanded I sign my parental rights away.

   I reconnected with a girl I dated and fell in love with in highschool. We had been talking on and off over the years and we were both single again for the first time. Everything pointed to it being a terrible idea, but something in my heart just screamed that I needed to try. Despite everything she still loved me and helped me navigate through all the chaos in my life.

   We’re now married and together for 13 years. I have a wonderful relationship with my son as well as his two younger brothers. My business didn’t work out, but now I am a stay at home dad while working on publishing my first book and helping take care of my family.

7. Around this past Sunday/Monday. Shit job, health rapidly declining, mother of my kid broke up with me but still lives with me, and is fucking a married coworker, I can’t handle taking care of my son alone, I have no friends.

   As for bouncing back from it..if I’m still alive tomorrow then maybe, but we will see how the night goes
