Have you ever hit rock bottom? If so, what was your rock bottom moment?

Wow, helluva question. Oh yes, several times actually, unfortunately. I don't mind answering this on a more personal level, but it's not something that I'd post publicly.
I will give you an answer on here, though, and say that the first time was the beginning of my "vagabond days" when I was 18 and my step-father lost the house and I decided to take my freedom to the wind and the road rather than live with him any longer. I had lost my home, soon after, my girlfriend broke up with me, I had an $80/wk job that had been all I needed for a while, but couldn't seem to get work and had no real means to support myself, most of my friends had gone away to college, I had no car or driver's license. All I had was a duffle bag of what belongings I could carry with me and a bunch of good friends that would lend some couch or floor space if needed, but I never wanted to be a bother and made myself scarce as much as possible and did my best not to overstay my welcome. That lasted about 4 years.

Oddly, there's been worse that I've went through since then.

Ask me anything
