    He is just a typical man that has kept it all in for decades. He is reaching out for help which most men don't do. Work on yourself guys before you take on the responsibility to take care other people.

      Sometimes when the caring for others starts you can be in a good place, but over time you slip gradually, and then 5-10 years later you step back and only then realize it has all gone sideways on you.

      @@cstuartdc I agree this is not even an easy venture at all even with a college degree. He has responsibilities grow up and look after your family.. moping around drinking feeling sorry for himself. Dreaming about making video games. It doesn't pay well when you start out after school either that's if you can even get a position as it's a very competitive field. He's 36 set the dream down and if you really hate your job find something else that's attainable. He is in debt he doesn't have the money for school and who is going to look after his kids. The drinking needs to stop as well. The 20 somethings are all taking those programs and they are already ahead of him before he starts.

    I know exactly how this guy feels. I was in the deepest darkest part of my alcoholism working a job I absolutely loathe couldn't save any money and the debt just kept piling up. I started going to AA meetings eventually got sober then got a career I was proud of. Suddenly I absolutely LOVED going to work the paycheck was an added bonus almost. I felt I had no purpose when I first got sober until I read Purpose Driven Life by Pastor Rick Warren.

If you're just lost and don't feel a sense of purpose then Purpose Drive Life was a total game changer for me. It suggests doing it in a group so you can all hold each other accountable as there are tasks to complete for each chapter over 40 days. Don't let that discourage you just make sure you do the exercises they have a purpose 🙃

    There are two types of drinkers, Those who drink because they don't care, and those who drink because they care and they feel trapped. The first type is hard to ever fix. For the second type, drinking is the symptom of feeling stuck and its not an uncontrollable problem, finding inspiration and purpose fixes that.

    I related with him on his self destructive cycle so much except I don’t have a family to be accountable for. Early 30s no education, tons of debt, stuck at a job that I hate, and whenever I get a game plan something sets me off emotionally and I wind up diving back into my gambling addiction and drinking and then I’m worse than I already was. I’m stuck in a cycle of stupid and hate myself more and more with every passing day.

      Sorry to hear this. I hope the video helped you. I can relate on having a plan, then spiralling back into the problem. In my case, failure to raise my income, because I was too proud to put my dreams on hold caused so many emotional problems.

    I completely feel this guy. Over 50. Hate the career I am in. 2 kids and a wife I love but just can't provide for a family on my own. I spent about a year and a half working at a job I loved, but could not make the money I needed to. I so badly want to get out of the recreational vehicle industry and get back into the service end of a car dealership. I have experience in parts, love doing car things, 15 years of customer service, and just need someone to give me a chance. I am lucky to have a strong group of church buddies to keep me from doing something stupid when the depression gets overwhelming.

      Moving can be a good step, but you cannot outrun yourself, you still need to work on yourself, still need to address your personal issues you have. Moving can help you with making a clear start, but can't replace that new start, that facing and dealing with the issues you have. If you don't deal with them, they will catch up with you, wherever you move to. But it seems you did, so good on you.

    if anyone gets in to similar problems here is what has helped me. I am a computer programmer my job, I find very easy to do, the boredom is excruciating, but the money is good. So I went around to look for courses to do - mainly in construction, I tell the tutors that im not interested in getting qualifications, i just want to do the practical work. It really has been a massive help. BTW I know for some this might not be possible.

    Dave is a natural, I know he is trying to develop his staff but they are still missing the mark. Dave seeks to connect with the callers first then provides advice and peace. Ken, Jon, and the others seem to be always looking for the teachers approval by giving the best practical Ramsey solutions answer. These other Ramsey personalities are certified in their fields and yet Dave still provides more quality solutions.
    I hope Kyle takes Dave’s advice and gets in a good bible baaed church.
