My life blew up in a huge way due to issues with mental health and addiction, and I wound up losing what was my great job, and my housing. That led to a long and slow process of totally rebuilding my life in new and healthier ways. It was a slow process and painful at times, but I'm actually happy now. I've returned to work, in a completely different field, unfortunately for much lower money, and I'm living in a boarding house for people with mental illness. But it's a good place and it's affordable. I've been sober for a bit over 4.5 years and I love my new sober life. It's hard but it is possible to completely rebuild.
