From DRUG ADDICT to BILLIONAIRE - THIS IS HOW I DID IT

[@johnd5542]

The best advice I ever got was.... "If you quit getting high, and use just 20% of the energy you waste in the drug addiction, you will be successful. He was absolutely correct.

@@sterlthepearl1000 True. I was anti drug as they come. I hurt my back and the "Good Dr" prescribed me "medicine". I was ignorant to the fact that it was monopolized herion. I didnt even like the way it made me feel, and had issues falling asleep. Doc said no worries, your body will get use to it. Then gradually raised my dose. The dr nor the pharmacist warned me about the addiction, tolerance increase, mood swings nor the withdraw. I didnt realize, or admit to myself, that I was a junkie, until I went on vacation 18 months later. I forgot my meds and had the worse week of my life.... Crazy withdrawal. I said to myself Id never touch them again. But as soon as I got home I ate a handful. From therr things just got far worse as my tolerance increased. I was turned out by drug dealers/salesman in white coats, who we are conditioned to trust. Fortunately, I got my girlfriend pregnant, and valued my sons wellbeing over my addiction. I made a promise to him 14years ago that I will keep to the end. He saved my life. I have 3 boys now and they are my world, my purpose...... My Drug.

Being sober is such an amazing feeling.

[@gabo1841997]

This story is incredible and gives me such perspective. I was also a drug addict and failed college, tried to un-live myself when I was 20 years old, and was a mess until about 22. Now I'm 25, I got my life together and I'm about to raise seed funding for my software company which we started last year. I've constantly thought "I am behind in life" and like I wasted a decade. If Grant didn't get his life together until 25, and he got where he's at. That gives me the perspective that perhaps I'm not "behind in life". Perhaps I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be and if Grant was able to change and grow so much so can I, and I've grown a lot already.

[@Travisthenics]

Sounds like you have mate! You can't beat someone who never quits!

[@m.h.6494]

As a young boy, I was known for my gentle heart and boundless optimism. I had dreams-big dreams-of becoming someone who would make a difference, someone who could uplift others. Life, it seemed, had so much to offer. But slowly, like quicksand pulling me under, drugs and alcohol began to erode my spirit. My dreams started to dissolve into a haze of substance abuse. My unborn child was lost, and the love of my life walked away, unable to bear the man I had become. Everything seemed surreal, like a twisted version of what my life was supposed to be. People who once saw potential in me were now laughing at the wreckage I had become. The aspiration to be a software engineer, which once seemed like a lofty but attainable goal, now felt like a joke. I was drowning in a sea of shame and misery, and in that despair, I tried to end my life. Not just once, but twice. That’s when life forced me into a corner. At 29, I was put into a rehab program for 30 days. I came out of that experience a changed man-sober and more committed than ever. That first year was all about rediscovering myself, focusing intensely on mental health, and personal growth. It was during this transformative phase that I met the woman who would become my wife, and we welcomed a beautiful son into our family. At 30, reinvigorated and clear-eyed, I set my sights again on my long-lost dream of becoming a software engineer. Within just 8 months of relentless studying, I achieved what many thought impossible-I landed a job as a software engineer. By 31, I had a fulfilling job, a loving family, and a home of our own. Financially stable and mentally resilient, I achieved a complete turnaround in a remarkably short time. Those years I thought were wasted? They’ve become my most invaluable lessons. The agony of almost losing myself has fueled an indomitable will to never return to that abyss. It’s a force that propels me every single day to seize the opportunities life offers, with both hands. If you’re struggling, if you’re in that dark place and need someone to talk to, don’t hesitate to DM me. Your life has so much untapped potential, and sometimes all it takes is one meaningful conversation to begin unlocking it. I don’t need anything in return. Let my story be your inspiration that no matter how far you’ve fallen, it’s never too late to rise.

[@sahil-th2zw]

[@RCardone82]

Completely accurate. I've spent some time away from GC's wisdom and motivation, and it shows. I used to struggle with alcoholism and addiction, and go to AA...what a horrible way to think, to live. I am meant for so, so much more, and so are YOU. Let's not succumb to the bullshit our society attempts to spoon-feed us; let's build each other up and onward towards all the beauty and abundance we were meant to have.

So far, Cardone's speech has been the most slapper soul speech I ever heard. Taking my "habits", "ruins" and thinkingness and turning them into action in my plan to succeed. If I had the time to get myself fuck up by drinking a lot. I will multiply every bottle by 10 actions and results. There is no way I cannot reach the billionaire spot. Thank you Mr Cardone.
