I have told it in many articles. I hit rock bottom. It was a perfect storm.
Around the same time, my grandfather died (for me he was like my father), my girlfriend left me after 7 years of relationship over the phone from another country, and a childhood friend with whom I started a startup, fired me when it started to work, and I was alone, without friends, and without money.
That made me react, in a way.
The pain I felt was in my soul, but it hurt in my body.
I thought I was the victim. But I was also the bad guy in a lot of people's movies (which I realized after years of spiritual work).
That was the beginning: a perfect storm that made me hit rock bottom. And then a ten-year road of rehabilitation.
I hope this answered your question.
