At least once in their lives, most people usually have the "opportunity" to hit rock bottom and rebuild themselves better, especially when they still have nearly nothing to lose; the real difficulty begins when you have enough to lose, not enough to win, and start playing "safe," until you notice, way too late, that you ended up actually never truly living at all; that's why you see so many people who seem to be doing relatively well from the point of view of conventional success, and yet, who also seem quite disconnected emotionally and not having fun at all in their daily lives.
