And the takeaway? I survived. It didn't kill me. Fear has lost it's sting. You can stretch out and take risks, and even crash and burn and live to tell about it. Complacency is the enemy of greatness. I was talking to some friends at church a few weeks back, talking about how scar skin is tougher than regular skin. If it took me going through that fire to come out the other side, than I did it. I made it. You can make it. You can start from zero and build. You can start from where ever today finds you and build. You can start from a place where it feels like you can't breathe, and build. If you are ahead of where I was when I hit rock bottom, you have a head start. I put this out there simply to answer the questions like this OP has about what to do when life feels like it is completely stacked against you.

Toughest podcast I have ever done, and I likely hopefully won't ever open that compartment again. I am negotiating now to restart the podcasting (because I really enjoyed it) but almost everything else we did was positive.

Glad you guys got something from it. Thats why I did it. And it maybe was somewhat cathartic for me.
Listened to the podcast and WOW, I don't even know what to say to be honest. Complete gratitude and admiration for you man. It probably feels amazing coming out of that alive.

Haven't been through even close to what Vigilante has, but what I can say from all my lowest points in my life is that, the worse thing you can possibly do, is nothing. Doing something each day to bring you closer to your goals makes a big difference. Even if its the littlest of changes. It's the small steps you take that lead you to taking bigger ones. My life hasn't been all "bells and whistles" either, too many mistakes and failures to even count, but giving up and ringing that bell is never an option. Like he said in the podcast, "You just gotta start."
