How many after a successful run have fallen by the wayside, then pulled themselves up from their bootstraps and rose again? What was the spark to initiate your rise?
 
I've lost everything I had four times. Twice, the two most recent 83, 89, I lost small fortunes.
First time had to run from the law, second time bought some bales of weed from cops, next time sold a few ounces of coke to some cops, last time got caught with just under 400 grams of coke, & $16,000.
You just get a job, start working. Eventually you'll meet a decent woman, she'll make you a better man and push you to nest. As you both work, assuming she does, you get better off, which leads to more opportunities for down time, vacations, etc.
But the job first. A man was both made to work and built for work.
Set small attainable goals, achieve them.
 
And stop drinking so much. It exaggerates your emotions, and yours are pretty exaggerated already.
 
Yes.

1. Stop drinking.
2. Get some help for my head.
3. Hang out with real men with families and sacks between their legs.
4. Listen to these men and figure out why their lives work and mine don't. The first step in listening was shutting the phuck up.
5. Ask God to help me be like them.
6. Do what Buff said.

A few times myself. The iron always saved my ass. Had I stopped working out during those times, I'd probably be dead. You need to stop thinking so fucking much, stop drinking, man da fuck up & start busting ass in the gym again.
 
Thanks to whitey, I took a multi million dollar custom home building business and destroyed it. We were days from being homeless when a second chance arose. I can remember the exact date and time when my wife and I woke up and looked at each other and said enough. We dumped and ounce down the toilet and never looked back! We busted our ass at work and got back to the gym and low and behold, we were living the good life in no time!
 
I should add, there's no magic spark, no epiphany, no cathartic moment, so to speak (since you like big words).
It's more like a mule plodding down one row after another, until you reach the end of the last row. Put your head down, put on the blinders and start pulling that plow down the row your on, until you reach the next row.
 
Step one stop drinking
Step two work your ass off to achieve goals
Step three stop using this board as a crutch

Exactly! Looking back it was so obvious that we were on our last row but at the time your head is so fucked up, you don't realize how far down the last row your actually were at.
 
Get some help for your drinking problem. I know guys like you who keep telling me that they don't have a problem and that they can stoop whenever they want but this isn't true.

And nobody will hire someone who has a drinking problem because they are not reliable.

Please get help. I hope that you will get clean and find a job :)
 
Make solutions or make excuses. Excuses will bring you to failure every time. Nothing productive comes from getting drunk. It's only going to hinder any goal you have. People will lose respect for you and your life will fall apart. If you need help bro, pray. Remove yourself from the bar and people who are unproductive.
 
The way I look at it, there are always forces to put me in the shitter. My job is to stop them. Life is a thorny bitch. It's a series of rises and falls. Keep getting up and fight that you don't fall far when you fall. When you're not falling fight to rise higher. Life is a mean mean place. That's how it works. It's a competition to thrive or perish. That's all.
