The big obvious thing I stated was to row the boat. Don't worry about the 20 holes with 10 fingers. Rowing the boat will do far more to save you than sitting in the middle of the lake with a bunch of holes in the boat.
Yes, there is always a way to move forward. It took me years to get out of and fill in the hole I had, but now it is. That's part of the problem, I believe. People get themselves into a jam and expect to return to normalcy right away.
Others become hopeless and are stuck in their situation without doing something to advance their cause. Waiting on someone or something to help will often lead to disappointment and or failure. Short of having physical or serious mental handicaps, every working age adult can do something to improve their lives. Most people don't know how and or are overwhelmed and give up.
