Depression, Anxiety and Addiction: Oct 23, 2010

Goals and the 2nd half of my life

One week, in my mid forties, I walked out of a successful 20 year career on Wall Street and gave up on a sputtering marriage of 10 years. I think that qualifies as a mid-life crisis. But instead of boats 'n babes my life crashed in a whirlpool of nutty women, depression, alcohol, and drugs that eventually landed me in a mental hospital. So it was more like a mid-life crisis with a nervous breakdown attached to it.

It certainly was not the party I'd always envisioned mid-life freedom to be -- but it has led me to a cool, new place where I have rekindled a great friendship with my ex and best friends who I had detached from, and it's a place where I actually get real joy and satisfaction from helping others who are having tough times.

After ending treatment and going through sober living I believed there was room for improvement in our community for better sober livings and I started a couple of homes. Recently I saw a much greater opportunity in being able to help both prospective sober living guests, and offer what until now has been unavailable to most sober living home manager/owners -- a high degree of organized visibility. We are going to offer this by way of a pictorial based Google page 1 sober living directory on www.soberlivingsearch.com. Just think of how many people -- frightened by a simple list of names and phone numbers -- will now be able to view a house and "get a feeling for it", making that phone call ever so much more likely. Our plan calls for building on the search traffic to put together a terrific site which we would like to eventually be THE "go to" resource site for anybody interested in alcohol and drug abuse, addiction, and recovery. Feel free to visit the parent site reesnetworks.com.
