Stories of you turning your life around?

[getwiththepg]

G@Gers or gaggers (or.. whatever), how many of you significantly turned your life around 180? How did you do it & what did it require? I know of some celebrities that were really down in the dumps, but a majority of them were already famous & experienced success before they regressed & subsequently fixed their issues (RDJ & Steve-O are some, although Steve-O is obviously still insane). I started attacking root causes of my insecurities (plus dealing with past traumas) & it changed who I am today, but I’m not finished going after what I want. Love hearing stories of people that win.

For me it was around 13 when I started selling drugs, it was around 14 when I got my first gun, met some people and started our own organization, it was a growing mafia group basically, in school we planned to start a fight club in the bathrooms as well, we did lots of unnecessary shit too no lie but we got into hitting licks on other dealers and selling their shit, the older I got, the worse this mentality got, it got to the point we were scheming big licks for big bags, we had a fully planned lick on a jewelry store 3 hours away from my home town, it involved a stolen vehicle and the kidnapping and hostage of a guard, using Google maps we schemed the escape and we were going to take the drive to lurk the area and check it out, the plan involved crashing out the stolen vehicle into a tree right near an alley and run on foot into the alley which was curbed so perfect for it, we would get into another vehicle and drive off, hopefully fooling the police that we were still on foot but 3 people of the group the same night had a week before this had a piece of a vision that if you put them together it was a final stand, we were in a car in chaos from gunshots under a pathway surrounded, people panicking and we were sprayed by a shotgun, highly realistic to the point you wake up confused type shit, we all knew this was a last stand with police, when homie died in the vision he woke up gasping for air like he was when he was bleeding out in the vision. We always believed in God but real talk we didn't listen to him til this awakening, I also fell into drugs and was freed from that as Well, at around 19 I left that life behind, I'm still in the growing but I know I'll get there me n bro followed the guidance, the ones that didn't and stayed in that life are dead now, I'm glad I've bettered myself and I'm glad you've done changes for yourself as well bro, change is harder than remaining the same but has the best results when it's for the better. 💯
