A story of suffering, self-destruction, and liberation

Before You let anyone convince You (especially Yourself!) that Your life is set in stone 100% and astrology or Your chart is 100% set in stone, as well as that we don’t have any free will (and You can’t change Your circumstances), here’s a hopefully inspiring story.

About 8–9 years ago I was still:

A drug addict.

An alcoholic.

Severely depressed, although I didn’t show it = I played it cool and joked a lot.

Deeply insecure.

Suicidal = this one hurts the most.

No desire to create anything.

Felt powerless to do anything about it.

In the victim state constantly.

Genuinely wanted to leave this seemingly God-forsaken place called earth.

I literally was headed towards my own destruction. Gained over 28kg in weight. Was high and/or drunk constantly. Didn’t remember how I got home from parties and going out. Really dangerous situations some.

A bad state of affairs with no end in sight.

But after one drunken night, I literally was so high and so drunk I prayed. I had never done this. It wasn’t a religious prayer = I don’t think religion has much to offer…
