30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle I knew a guy in college who was a straight A student on track to become a doctor, but he was miserable and burned out. One day, he dropped out, moved to a small town, and started a woodworking business. He's now incredibly happy making custom furniture and says it's the best decision he ever made.

Great job. Weed is just occassional now I suppose, it can come unhandy as a stress relief when having kids!

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle 3 years ago I was totally paralysed due to a neurological condition. Totally bed ridden dependent on carers. As of this month, I am almost a qualified teacher and ran my first 5K. A doctor told me years ago to accept my life for what it was. I never stopped fighting and now you’d never know anything was ever wrong with me.

Being told to accept something negative is sometimes the best motivation to prove them wrong.

If you’ve ever had to give up an unhealthy habit, alter a deeply ingrained behavior, or pick up something completely new to you, then you definitely know how hard change can be. Even though adaptability and flexibility are virtues, far from everyone embraces them. To put it bluntly, it’s nice to be in your comfort zone, even if your life is far from great. When you start taking steps outside of that zone, you feel vulnerable.

What’s more, it can be frustrating if you don’t immediately see any results. However, the small decisions you make every single day add up given enough time—for better or worse.

So, one tip that might help you is that you should have realistic expectations. Don’t believe your own hype that you’ll overhaul your life for the better in a few days. It can take months (or realistically—years) of small changes to get to where you need to be. For example, if you want to live a healthier, happier life but hate exercise, you won’t become an athlete overnight. It’ll take lots of dedication and perseverance to reach your goals.

Guy was single into his late 30's, had a great corporate career, got married, sold his house, and started a family all in 18 months. A few weeks after his daughter starts crawling, he goes to pick her up and ruptures 2 discs in his lower back. Has surgery, comes out in worse pain than before the surgery and develops clots in legs. Ends up having a pulmonary embolism which he barely survives only to be put on large quantities of opiates for pain. Out of work for 2.5 years, can't keep a job, tries to k*ll himself on way to work one morning and his engine stalls which must have flipped a switch. After 7 years of opiates, he detoxes at home by himself, gets clean, finds a job and has been sober since. Fwd 10 years, he ruptures another disc and now needs fusion surgery and will do so without taking any opiates. Please say a prayer, I need all the help I can get.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle My high school gym teacher went from being a health nut and bodybuilder to a professional pastry chef. One day he just decided he was tired of bench presses and protein shakes, went to culinary school, and now he runs one of the best bakeries in town. The dude gained like 50 pounds but swears he's never been happier.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle I can only speak for myself. I was 13 years old, overweight, sick all the time, prone to violent outbursts (mimicking my biological father), and actively researching the most painless and foolproof methods for ending my life.

I started running. At first, I could only make it a couple of hundred feet. My ankles felt like they'd burst into flames. But I leaned into the pain, because it felt like something other than despair. I kept running. Within a year, I was fit, swore off violence, and found several compelling reasons to live. And I got hopped up on bananas and Diet Coke and ran 13 miles one afternoon like it was nothing.

I've fallen back into the pit several times in my life, but I always claw my way out toward the light. Running has always been the fulcrum. I'd be dead without it.

A good rule of thumb is to make your goals as clear and specific as possible. According to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Teaching and Learning, you can use the SMART framework to meet your objectives effectively. Each letter in the acronym stands for the following: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic (what some sources name as Relevant), Time-bound (or Trackable).

To elaborate, your goals must first be very concise and tangible. Next, you have to find a way to measure them so you know whether you’re progressing and can tell if you’ve reached them. Then, the goals should be attainable with the resources you have and the deadlines you’ve set yourself.

You should also consider whether your aims are realistic and relevant to your life. And finally, you have to set deadlines for when you should reach your goals.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle My brother spent his late teens and mid-twenties being a lying, thieving, directionless bum who flunked out of college despite being extremely bright. Then one day he just decided enough was enough, a switch flipped in his brain or something, and he went back to school for electrical engineering, graduated one of the top of his class, and has a stable, well-paying career. And his relationship with the family has never been better. I couldn’t be more proud of him.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle I know a guy whose daughter disowned him and wouldn't return phone calls or letters for 10 years. After he sobered up for a few years, his ex-wife let him come back into their lives. He ended up walking his daughter down the aisle, and is literally a pillar in his community today.

(I've seen the other kind of 180, too...but I'd rather think about the good ones.).

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle My niece went from being a m*th-addicted felon who couldn't take care of her kids and bouncing in and out of jail to a respectable, reliable member of society.

There was no fanfare. She just quietly went about changing her life. Most of us had just sort of written her off as a lost cause. My sister (her mother) had actually assumed legal custody of her kids.

And she just...changed. She did what she needed to do to get her life back on track. It took a while, but it's one of the most amazing and remarkable turnarounds I have ever seen.

Mayo Clinic suggests that if you have a general inclination to eat healthier, you should take the time to get very specific. What exactly does healthy eating look like for you as you get older? What are the unhealthy habits that you struggle with? It’s all very personal. Someone might aim to stop guzzling soda every day or to eat fewer sugary snacks. Another person might aim to eat at least five servings of fruits and veggies every day.

If you want to ‘walk more,’ you should first note how often you go for a walk, how many steps you do on average, and how much time you spend on the go. Then, you can come up with a very specific goal—e.g., doing 5% more steps every week for the next few months. The exacty numbers will depend entirely on your current lifestyle. Heck, it doesn’t even have to be walking that you focus on. Any activity that you enjoy and gets you moving will do.

Meanwhile, if you aim to lose a bit of weight, it’s far healthier to be realistic and aim for one or two pounds and celebrate those victories. The alternative is setting yourself an overly ambitious goal that you might fail to reach quickly, which will only demotivate you. If on top of everything else, you track your achievements (say, in a journal or by taking photos of yourself), you can keep a constant record of all the awesome progress you’ve made.

For six years, I had constant severe heel pain that made me disabled. I walked with crutches. I had to carefully plan every walking route I took, often I couldn't make it through a Walmart trip without needing to stop and rest on the floor. I never took my textbooks to class with me because a couple textbooks worth of weight would make it hard to get through the day. At home I would often walk on my knees or crawl on the floor. Most of the time when I could go no further kind people would help me walk. But sometimes I was just left there on the ground. Saw many different doctors, they mostly thought it was plantar fasciitis, but no treatment seemed to work.

Suddenly, one of the doctors got it right--it was a rare nerve disorder called tarsal tunnel syndrome not unlike carpal tunnel. He diagnosed it by having a guy inject painkiller directly into the suspected nerve tube. First time in six years I felt no pain. Soon I got surgery and once my foot healed I was amazed that I had basically no more mobility limitations. I went from struggling to make it through my daily activities to dancing for hours at a wedding. This surgery coincided with my university graduation and I was able to get many seasonal jobs one after the other and do biological fieldwork like I had always dreamed of. I tromped through marshes, hiked through deserts, camped in forests, all things that would be totally impossible before.

It really was a complete 180. It felt like a miracle honestly. Now I always appreciate my health and whenever I see someone mobility impaired from age or anything I greatly empathize with them.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle Dear friend used to be a self-centered banker crypto bro with vile views on women.
He was wealthy at a young age and even had an actual, honest to God marriage of convenience/trophy wife.

He was driving alone on a rural road in the holidays and had a car accident where it flipped. He got some head trauma from that, but also the heat in the car went on and out of control. So, it turned into heat stroke that became an actual stroke.

Took him three months to get out of a coma. He wasn't good at math anymore and had a soft and friendly personality . Like, unusually so, for him. He also immediately demanded to be given drawing supplies. He didn't have a lot of memories of before and still doesn't. He's not rich anymore, is a professional artist now, and him and his trophy wife fell in love for real.

He's extremely happy. He threw out all of his business suits, wears exclusively Hawaiian shirts, has a bunch of dogs, is bisexual and makes erotic ceramics.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle Friend of a friend was big into m*th at the time, already a couple years deep. He would regularly play scratchers and would frequently explain how if he spent enough overtime that he was guaranteed to win sometime. No amount of actual math helped him understand, so after buying his d***s, he would happily spend the rest on scratchers.

Well you wouldn't f*****g believe it, but that bastard won 30 grand on a $5 scratcher.

He sobered up, bought a car so he could get a better job, and (I haven't heard from him in a few years cuz i moved but i see his posts every once in a while) is living happily as a nighttime janitor for a school.

Sometimes, I wish I could explain to the billionaires of the world how .000001% of their wealth could completely change a life, but I'm so poor I'd get crucified for even thinking about having a conversation with one of em.

They have been targeted more than once. I am from Belgium and this is a history fact from around the time the black dead ran rampant. Jewish people where the cleanest group of people in Antwerp. So they didn't get sick as often as the other population. This led them to believe the plague was do to them. They rounded them up and apparently burned them, alive. This is a shameful past of the city of Antwerp. TLDR. Jewish people where cleaner then others. Got blamed for being the cause of the black death. Resulted in burning them.

My sister. She had a string of bad boyfriends in high school and one of them got her into d***s. She married a guy after knowing him for 8 days. He was an abusive a*****e who abandoned her so she turned to her dealer who she married after her divorce from guy #1. They had a kid and got busted selling d***s and storing them under the baby crib. Kid got taken by the state. Sister and husband went to jail. Sister realized she f****d up. Sister vows to make a change. She goes to rehab and goes through every step she needed to get her kid back. Junkie husband won't change. Sister gets pregnant with kid #2 but leaves him before kid #2 is born. They get divorced. She stays clean, remarried to an amazing guy, lands a good job and has another kid. 19 years sober. I'm so f*****g proud of her.

From my own experiences :

Going back about 12-13 years ago got married (Indian culture), wasn’t happy but went along with it

Started great then the verbal assaults began. Soon turned physical (her to me), but I never raised my hand.

Went into a slow downward spiral of heavy drinking every day after work - spending up to 6-7 hours in the pub just to get away from being home.

Lasted about 2-3 years. Finally bit the bullet and moved out, staying with friends and doing overnight shifts

Family didn’t wanna know me as I’d “disrespected the family name” by going through a divorce.

The drinking got worse, I’d subsequently lost my job as a result and legit felt there was no way out.

Then … Low and behind a friend of the family reached out. She was living on rent and offered to take me in (speaking with her landlord who accepted)

Moved to the other side of London, got myself a job starting from scratch - done my best to stay off alcohol.

Fast forward 10 years - now teetotal, married (again) for 7 years, got a 4 year old son and two dogs - and a homeowner.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle One of my high school classmates came from a conservative Evangelical household and it showed. She was very involved with the Christian club on campus and wanted to attend a big Bible college in the South. She was also really homophobic.

Somewhere between graduation and now, she got married young. Her husband turned out to be an abusive POS. She left the marriage with their kid and moved back to the PNW and got a job.

Then she met her now-wife and now works for a pro-LGBTQ+ Christian fellowship while raising their kids. Oh, and she posts a lot of pictures of their chickens on Instagram.

My buddy, 10 years ago he was addicted to Xanax, stealing from me to buy more, OD'd at least twice but somehow didn't die. Finally gets arrested for stealing and is given the choice of 1 year in jail or to do the d**g rehab program which lasts for a year, he decided to do the rehab program. He did very well, I was the only person there for him as he went through it, and we became friends again. He got back into school, completed his bachelor's, he's now at a great university about to complete his master's in biology and will continue on to complete his PhD.

I’m proud to have answered her first request for items for the homeless. I sent bundles of gym socks.

Now, she’s internet famous; her non profit is completely driven by donations via social media. She’s won several awards. She’s provided the connective tissue for many people to move forward. Biggest 180 I’ve ever seen.

These are the most wonderful stories, where the 180 not only benefitted the person who did it but then spread out the good to lots of others. Don't feel bad if your 180 is just for you, it's just nice how life sometimes turns out so great for so many.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle I gave up drinking, began daily meditation, 45-minute workouts, therapy, AA, regular sleep schedules, good nutrition, and to-do lists every day. changed from being a gloomy alcoholic recluse to a productive, albeit slightly melancholy, member of society. People have asked for help and made comments on how different I seem. It requires a great deal of effort and, more crucially, constancy. Furthermore, change is a gradual process. People seek out fast fixes. Achieving goals and making progress is incredibly satisfying. I started running six months ago, and I finished a 5K with almost 3000 runners in the top 8%.


Having done all of this, it is evident that I am not a complete moron. If there is no change, nothing happens!

The pardon was many years (10+) after he served his sentence. In prison, 24 hours counts as 2 days, so 15 months (with time reduced for good behavior) would be considered serving the full 3 year sentence.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle One of the biggest life 180s I've seen was with a friend of mine who went from being a high-flying corporate executive to becoming a meditation teacher. He was all about business, career advancement, and working long hours, living the stereotypical work hard, play hard lifestyle. Then, after a major burnout and a period of health issues, he took a break to recalibrate.

30 Times People’s Lives Did A Huge 180 And It Sent Shockwaves In Their Social Circle Kid I went to high school with was one of those young republicans, always going to church, and even scored a 100% conservative rating on a political party association survey we all took. It had been 6 years before I last heard he had been bisexual through college and attended pride parades and was advocating for Hillary for president.

My brother’s friend grew up with a pretty rough home life. As a result, he spent a lot of time at my house and he more or less became an additional sibling and child in our house. My parents even offered to let him live with us after he graduated high school. Fortunately for him, he was able to get a full ride to a prestigious university and made friends with a bunch of rich guys there who let him live in their nice shared rental, and would often gift him experiences or gently used really nice things. He graduated with honors and made six figures out of college. He’s since gotten married and made a life for himself in our hometown. I don’t know how much contact he has with his family but he’s still close to mine.

Anyone who prescibes oxy for longer than a few weeks - sometimes only days are needed (unless terminal) deserves to have their licence revoked. There are bucketloads of non addictive analgesics that will help with post op pain.

My life after I took my wife’s advice and talked to my doctor about taking antidepressants. That combined with individual therapy and couples therapy.

I didn’t see it after first until one day she made a comment that was something like “it’s like you’re a different person”.

Little things that use to set me off and cause me to be miserable for hours or days are nothing. Looking back it’s clear I should have done this sooner.

And my MIL would actually make fun of him and his sister. He’s an undiagnosed ADHD/OCD case and my SIL has had depression for as long as I’ve known her.

Honestly, me. Raised by alcoholics, had a binge drinking problem by 15, became a teen mom and had a couple more in my early 20s, didn't graduate high school, made some really poor relationship choices and was a severe case of learned-helplessness.

At 30, I got an education. Now I have a degree, am married, stable, and I own a house (which as a millennial is a feat of its own). I work in accounting for the government. Most boring (and amazing) life ever. And I love it.

My dad. He was unemployed and we were broke for a very long time. His favorite hobby was just “dinking around on the computer”…turns out he is extremely skilled and out of necessity, applied for a high paying job in computer programming and somehow got it even tho he only has a HS diploma. He now makes very good money as the head sr. programmer for a hospital.

Now he is a straight-shooting crazy-eyed Master Sergeant in the US army who is about to finish his 20 with a couple degrees the government paid for and a pretty wild skillset.

If you are inclined to change the military offers a great environment to leave the old behind. The break at boot camp and training is a common point for turnarounds, but you always have an option to transfer somewhere new and completely recreate yourself.

I had this roommate once…

She was a rave every weekend get hammered and do whatever d***s come my way kind of pretty girl. The dude she was seeing cheated on her at EDC in a threesome on the Ferris wheel (on video) after he told her he was celibate for religious reasons.

He had taken her to his church, her first time ever attending, the week prior to this. When she found out she continued to go to his church, met a strait laced Catholic man and within a few months is married and living that god loving life.

This girl went from Sullivan King rave’s/benders every weekend, sleeping wherever and taking whoever’s d***s, to a church first thing Sunday morning kind of person and being a traditional house wife.

I suffered from severe depression since the age of 18.
After attempting s*icide twice, I left the military at 22 and became an alcoholic and c*caine addict.

I went from one catastrophe to the next, spending time in a mental hospital, police cells and lost everything.

It cost me all that was good in my life and I’d just come to accept that I would die young and I was ok with that.

Relieved even.

Now I’m 38, I’ve beaten all my addictions, diagnosed with bi-polar so the correct medication really makes a difference and I’ve even quit smoking (I still Vape though - guys got to have something for goodness sake)

I’ve started my own successful business, have a loving family and kids and finally have my own home.

I’m grateful for my life now and glad I didn’t punch my ticket early.

*raises hand* Back in March I had one job, lived in a nice neighborhood, and had few cares in the world. Fast forward to April '24, my mom passes away making me the sole financial caretaker for my dad with dementia.

His care is 9k per month - out of pocket entirely. I now have 2 FT remote jobs and some side hustles that, without disclosing too much, could potentially get me in serious trouble but I don't have much of a choice if I have to come up with an extra 9k every month.

I moved to a s****y bug infested apartment in a terrible part of town to save as much money as possible. In the span of a few months my life went from easy street to something resembling a s****y Breaking Bad knockoff.

I witnessed one of the most surprising transformations in a person's life, and it happened with a very close friend. During his youth, he was trapped in a cycle of addiction, endless partying, and toxic relationships. It was common for him to get into trouble, to the point where many thought he would never break free from that destructive path.

Everything changed suddenly. After facing a series of legal and health issues caused by his lifestyle, he had a moment of clarity. He decided it was time to make a radical change. He enrolled in a rehabilitation program, began surrounding himself with people who supported him, and avoided environments that pulled him back into his old habits. Over time, he started studying to become an addiction counselor, with the goal of helping others who were going through the same struggles he had overcome.

Today, not only is he completely sober, but he also dedicates his life to supporting others in their recovery process. He went from being someone many considered "beyond help" to becoming an inspiration to others, living a full, healthy, and purposeful life. Without a doubt, it has been the most drastic change I've ever seen in someone.

She got into a car accident and was put on oxycotin for pain.
The prescriptions ran out and by then she was addicted. She was told that meth gives her a similar high, so she tried meth and never looked back.
She lost her nursing license, she lost her driver's license,. Her husband divorced her and took the kids.
Shes in jail for the third time in a year, and is looking at prison time.

My ex-best friend. Great job, adored her adopted daughter, owned her own house. Her first husband left her and then she started dating (and eventually married) a guy at work that got her into d***s. They both failed d**g tests at work. He died of alcohol poisoning and she started drinking very, very heavily and taking pills. A few times her daughter found her near death and had to call 911. Eventually her daughter moved in with her father. My friend ended up losing her cat, her home, and every single thing she owned. She used everyone in her life until she had no where to turn. She was last seen at a homeless shelter in Texas in February and was saying they were going to kick her out. Some group called Watchman’s Ministry took her in and she has completely disappeared. I miss my friend.

I don’t know why she still haunts me. She cut me out of her life very abruptly in 2017, despite being best friends since 1987. I guess I want to know why, and what happened to her. And I realize I will likely never know, and that drives me crazy.

A friend of mine. Good kid if a bit rambunctious and a bit of a troublemaker. Definitely on the track to a solid living as he could fix anything and was always keeping himself busy tinkering with things. Not book smart, but definitely not someone who would struggle to survive if left to his own devices.

He was in an accident that left him with a severe TBI among other things. Long story short, he ended up hooked on d***s and was in and out of rehabs and constantly getting into trouble.

Good news though as he pulled another 180 out of his a*s and is now clean for years, has a family, and though still dumber than a box of rocks, is living the good life.

I'm proud of that moron through and through.

About nine years after we graduated high school, he was in a news report. Had apparently been involved in home burglaries, police caught him in the act, he fired shots at them as he fled.


Charges of attempted capital m*rder, three separate trial attempts, convicted eventually of attempted m*rder, serving a forty year sentence.

My best friend, Matt. He owned a home, had two dogs he adored and cared for, had a successful job. He decided to try m*th one day in 2022 and it derailed his life. He lost both dogs (they have since been adopted and are well), set his house on fire, lost his job and his car and refused help. He developed paranoia and distrusted family and friends who tried to help him.

He passed away in January 2024 after taking his life and I still have a hard time accepting that it turned out the way it did. He was one of the smartest people I knew and a great friend.

Guy I knew in college - super smart, maybe a little cocky but generally a good guy. Pre-med, usually set the curve, got into a great medical school and definitely gave off “going to be a future Nobel prize winner” vibes. About a year later his dad gets arrested for tax evasion (or some similar white collar crime) and the dude completely snaps. Drops out of med school, goes down a dark rabbit hole of d***s, and ultimately dies in a shoot out with the police a year later.

Dude was an A+ student with scholarship going for engineering degree, smoked pot (possibly laced) for first time and had his first psychiatric break. Ended up at our unit unable to hold a thought, and left the best we could get him to, which was stable condition but still with schizophrenia. No previous psych history.

Pretty much dropped out of college and is now cared for by his parents, because he can barely do his ADLs by himself. Not sure if he's ever going to finish his degree or live by himself at this point.

My (ex) best friend was the kindest soul. She was literally the epitome of a perfect person. Any time I needed a shoulder to cry on, she'd be there.

Last August she met a boy, they moved in a month or so later and ever since she's been with that boy, she's been really nasty. Completely flipped. I caught her talking bad about me, saying things about my looks and my relationship. It really hurt. She also gossiped a lot and never had a nice thing to say about anybody.

She also turned very toxic, and complained that I wasn't doing enough with her, when I would see her at least every single week, despite the fact that she'd cancel plans to be with her bf, who she LIVED WITH.

I made the difficult decision to cut her off completely in February. I have to admit, life's been peaceful since then. But I miss the old her like crazy, I think about her and what she's getting up to all the time.

However, in her story, I'm the devil from hell and the s**t on the ground for cutting her off.

I still cry over our friendship, and I miss the old her more than she'll know.

An old friend was a bit of a ladies' man but he settled down (again) & started a family. His wife left him and he went back to playing the field. Did well in his career but went off-track, took to living on a beach & smoking a lot of dope. Tried being a celibate hermit for a while, in preparation for being a Zen monk. That didn't quite do the trick. He has now done the sex change, full surgery & everything, and has a married boyfriend.
My apologies if that's a little past the 180 mark!

My husband’s mistress cheated on her wealthy, established high school sweetheart husband for my ex. She was always on lavish trips, going to nice restaurants, and he even bought her a Birkin. She never once had to do her own taxes, he took care of everything financial.

My ex is unemployed, likely dead broke, and has been out of real work for a year so he could run off with her. When they have to work again, his prospects are going to be slim.

I’d imagine they are deep in credit card debt right now since both of them lost their jobs.

She nuked the life most women dream of (rich AND wonderful husband) for a fellow cheater and lazy opportunist.

I've had many 180s in my life

I did financially okay for my age and had a relatively cushy job and life then I joined the military after 9/11.

I did pretty well in the military but after I got out and had a big career disappointment I became unemployed for many years.

I became unemployed for many years but went back to school and got an advance degree which landed me a decent job.

In a way I'm just waiting for the next thing to flip my world upside down again and can't help but feel it'll happen because of my past experiences. One of these days I'm going to drop dead suddenly or find out I have cancer probably.

There was a smart student, my neighbor, who was expected to join medical school. He decided to take a gap year and went abroad for work and cultural experiences, or so I assumed. When he returned a year later, he had completely changed. He became conservative, religious, and focused on calmness and meditation as if it were his full time job. He refused to push hard in life and didn't enroll in any college for years, at least not until I moved away from the neighborhood.
