dunno what to do

You sound like me when I was 28.

I hit about 700K in net worth around then and was making 350K working as a research analyst in finance.

Then I went through a bad break up, started drinking, then I got fired.

Got devastasted for I took a year long break. Now I'm 33, and I haven't been employed since.

I got lucky with some stock picks and I am still worth about 1.2M now, but I am so depressed.

Running is my only solace.

This advice may all be wrong, I don't know, but I didn't want to read what you wrote and not post.

Is there anything you can find to replace it? To substitute it. But it must be a positive thing.

For example, CBD oil. I mean some really good, expensive, reputable CBD oil. Some of it, apparently, has changed peoples lives. Now it didn't agree with me, but for some people it really is a cure.

Can you tell us why you don't want to stop?

Are you depressed?

I don't understand myself either, but no one sees that and people keep saying I'm so self aware. It's all bullshiit.

What is your IQ? I believe high IQ can be a curse not a gift.

Try kratom, some have used it to kick alcohol and/or opiates

Enough with your plans for running.

You're going to lose it all

You need help.

Take the first action and go get into s support group for more direction. AA

Call AA or a hospital. They can steer you in the right direction. You have already taken the first step - keep going :) Good luck, my friend.

Are you willing to come to the Philly area and get into a program?

I may be able to guide you.

Have you tried not drinking? Might help.

I know this is from the runner bubble, but Alan Webb is not so intelligent (makes me wonder if classes had anything to do with his dropping out of Michigan and not just poor running). Also, Ben Wallace and Marvin Harrison aren't the brightest crayons in the box.

Some former athletes that seem to be fairly intelligent include Tiki Barber, Mike Golic, Sean Salsbury (although not a stud quarterback), Greg Anthony, and Troy Aikmen, to name a few.

I seem to recall that Bill Bradley's SAT scores were not particularly high at all.

Mr Rhodes must have thought they were high enough.

I know this statement doesn't apply to all, but I would imagine most pro golfers are relatively intelligent/educated. Golfing is expensive, and since you have to play golf from an early age to be really good, most golfers parents have money. Therefore, most golfers were sent to the best schools, and are well-educated. I know this isn't always the case, but I bet it is moreso than football and basketball

Almost any of the doctors would qualify. Roger Bannister (who was knighted for his medical work, not his running), certainly.

Frank Shorter is pretty smart. Ditto Craig Masback (don't start--Princeton UG and Yale Law is a helluva combo).

Hard to come up with dummies. (I remember learning in grad school that there's actually a pretty solid positive correlation between athletic ability and IQ.) Gerry obviously isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but I think it's more a question of character disorder--he most likely has a three-digit IQ.

[Besides, "no brain, no pain," right?]

Outside of running? Well, David Robinson (is that the name? Basketball player out of USNA) had something around a 1400 on the pre-recentering SAT. I'm told that Kobe Bryant is also pretty bright.

Actually, I suspect it would be difficult to find many players in US pro leagues who are truly dumb. Uneducated or uncouth, maybe, but not unintelligent--I just don't think many people would work up to the highest levels in a physical activity, if they didn't have some smarts to organize and direct their effort.
