Who here has really fu**ed up, but straightened their life out?

Let’s be honest, we aren’t all saints, so for those of you that are, just leave the thread now.
But I can honestly say that my life was so out of control at one point right after college, that it scared me, not to mention worried family.
I didn’t think I could ever get right honestly, even working and “doing good” the better I did, the worse I got. Was making a stout salary for a single white male living alone, and I save nothing between dope dealers and casinos. My personal vice was assorted drugs, mainly opiates and cocaine.
Throw some intense gambling into it and i was hell on wheels.
Not to go into too many details, but with a lot of time and help (thank god for people that don’t give up on you) I’ve gotten a grip on my life and feel as if I’m progressing in my profession and plan to make a leap in the near future and start my own business and start really using my education.

Anybody else straight shite all over themselves at some point? Be it, legal issues, gambling, domestic problems, substance abuse (alcohol or drugs), or most of the above.

Edit : I asked this because at points in my addiction and early out of it, even with education under my belt, it seemed impossible to “make it” and be a normal businessman like I aspired.
Maybe somebody reading a semi success story will feel a that there is hope and seek help, or accept the help they likely don’t even know is already offered.
