Started my First Business... But Feeling Empty Inside

[Tristan2k0]

Hey guys and gals, I hardly post on TFF but figured maybe Id make a post and would be able to connect with a person or 2 who has maybe been in my situation. So my dad and I recently started our own Electrical Business, I'm 27 years old and have been doin electrical since 19 so this is a pretty big step for me even though it isn't technically a Fastlane Business but my plan is to build off of it. But these past 2 years have been a massive struggle... I was an alcoholic for a few years and last October I ended up crashing my truck (Thank God I didn't hurt anyone). Woke up in the hospital and stayed there 10 days to recover from severe alcoholism. It was the scariest and most life changing 10 days ever and I've been sober ever since. I got fired from my job where I was making $50 an hour, and now I also owe $30k in debt for damaging some decorative rocks and a drive way. The past 2 months have been very difficult, I feel like I'm such a huge hole and I'm feelin pretty hopeless, it's as if all my motivation to build my business and improve my life has vanished from how I was doing this summer (I was in amazing physical shape and in great mental headspace and was very business motivated) I was just wondering how you guys have found ways to light a fire under your a$$ and get your life organized and back in order. I know Journaling would definitely help, I have never been to therapy though, I wonder if that would help me out. If you've read my post this far I really appreciate it and thank you for your time. I'm seriously open to any suggestions. Thank you
