I grew up in a trailer park and dropped out of college after 2 years of academic probation
Never really had it super rough, but, have a good job, decent house in nice neighborhood, wife that I get along with, decent car, comfortable life.

My little brother went a lot deeper down the well of despair when he was in his teenage years and early 20s, but he's turned around nicely ... found the balance where he can have fun with his band and still earn some cash to keep a roof over his head and food in his belly.

And Skull, you are a good guy, not only did you turn your own life around, you are a real life "job creator" as you hire other people to work for your business.

A decade ago I was strung out on heroin, homeless, flat broke, I ate by shoplifting from gas stations. Next year this time I'll have been clean a decade, I started a business, bought a house and have more money than I know what to do with.

Stop making excuses and get to it is all I can say.

Congrats. That's difficult as hell. I grew up with several people who still haven't managed to crawl out of the spoon. Some are on methadone maintenance...again, some still shooting up.
 
In Russia, no turn life around. Life turns you around (. . . and around - until the krokodil gets you. Then pieces of you start flying off in all directions.)

The people who have most successfully turned their lives around are the ones that left. You should strive to be one of them.

When I saw the thread title and saw who made it, I thought the same thing. I think people who are attached to internet forums (all forms) for more than an hour a day have an unhealthy habbit and if they could get past it, that would be a huge change. I am speaking as one of the sufferers.
 
I've been skinny (by today's standards) all my life and I look at these people who have been 250 pounds all their life and manage to lose 100 pounds and keep it off. That is pretty life changing. I have always thought it would be pretty easy for me to do. But of course I am not in this situation so the low hanging fruit has already been picked.
