Over coming the odds

I want to hear victory stories and how you over came all odds...like medical or gym or whatever.
For me
Was a fool with stock market winnings
Instead of paying debt I lost it to another stock
So I work 2 jobs sold my truck ..I now walk or bus
I gym on lunch time..it's my only time.
I study at night coding and day trading to give myself a better life one day
My first app made 13 bucks but it's a start. So let's hear it user.

I still live at home and that sucks but I feel things are not too bad. My foreign gf dumped me a month ago so that's been hard.

My gf left me a month ago. I honestly won't kms cuz that's retarded, but it still hurts from time to time. All I do is go the the gym and study. I wrote this up in a greentext in another post.
