I had no choice but to quit. I was down to $10 in the bank and two suitcases of clothes. That was all I had left. Lost my career, my car, evicted from condo, declared bankruptcy, girlfriend kicked me out of her place. Multiple arrests and ER visits coincided. I could sober up or become a homeless drunk at this point.
Showed up on my parents doorstep and was in rehab shortly thereafter. Still picking up the pieces of my life. But I am lucky to be alive.
