I was in my 30s. I had a reputation for accuracy, in instrumentation and things like that.
I went to work at a steel mill, they paid me a lot of money.
I spent it on dumb stuff.
Not saying it was all bad.

If I’m being honest, by the end of 1998 there was probably zero hope for me growing up to be a functional member of society.
After weathering the storms, nice comeback! (and presumably, miraculous redemption of some sort) Don't know why you were tested so hard, but you were.
Did you have a distinct turning point (s)? Mentor? Biggest cause for attitude change?

I was 35 and, with two partners, had just started our business a year before. I had four kids under 10 and a great wife who took care of everything and let me focus. That was a great time. Things went well from there.

Living in Minneapolis
Working for the North American Hunting Club
30 years old making 35K a year with good benefits. Married with a one year old child. Wife stayed at home and took care of the baby.
I made it two winters before turning in my notice and moving home. Took me about a year to find my next job, which I stayed at for over 20 years.
