Especially if you been to the brink of death ... or the brink of anything else terrifying, like heading to a life on the street, losing your family and/or everything you've worked for ... everyone has a different bottom, it's all relative.

But going through that couple weeks of sheer hell and coming out the other side ... can be cathartic like nothing else.

A lot of people actually credit the whole experience.
