he/him Listen. I've been where you are. I spent three years as the Reply Guy. I ratio'd people for fun. I posted through it when everyone told me to stop. I once got into a 94-tweet thread about whether a hot dog is a sandwich — and I was wrong the entire time.
That was my rock bottom. Since then I've made it my job to help people climb out of the same hole I dug for myself. No judgment. No lectures. Just the hard truths nobody else will tell you, and a clear path forward.
My approach is simple: own what you did, understand why you did it, and build systems so you don't do it again. It's not glamorous. It's not easy. But it works.
