I am confident I will bounce back, but I did the same thing. I quit drinking, I stopped pittying myself and am getting my shit together and build my business back up. Found another client to pay bills and grow.

Won't ever quit weed though, like you said, it helps me unwind and shake the stress off at the end of the day, but I did scale it back to only after I'm done working for the day.

I'm putting in 10-16 hour days every day and don't let up unless it's a day I have my kid because she's a high enough priority to be able to do that.

If you want to change your situation then only you can do it and you gotta give up the shit that is holding you back and get your ass in gear.

Lets go Huggles. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
I didn't know this bro, i'm glad to hear you are working your way up again. You always had that hustle in you.
