I'd like to hear stories about people who've had difficulties in their life, and are getting things together later in life.
I soon turn 37 and start my 3rd year EE studies.
When i was young, my life went downhill bc of my mother's inability to bring me up properly, and she was also an alcoholic. I had to be put in to a childrens home, and as you can probably guess, i got into bad company and started smoking weed when i was 13. By the age of 15, i had tried amphetamine, benzos, subutex, alcohol and extacy and i smoked cigarettes. Needless to say i became an addict and IV'd hard drugs till the age of 34.
At 32 i moved to a new city, and a year later i met my soulmate and it saved my life. I stopped using all drugs and alcohol, went to school and got a job. The year 3/4 is starting in a week.
Is there people who have similar stories? I'd like to hear them for it is very motivating and inspiring.
