I would get home around 8 pm, exhausted. Barely enough time to workout quickly, eat, and sleep to do it all again the next day...It taught me a thing or two about self-discipline lol... no pain no gain bros.

Similar to the environment I worked in. 14 hours a day always "on". Not even the time to eat or come down from being on alert. Even when I forced myself to take a day off I worked from home. You know what you get for it. Missing your kids growing up and a lot of other family time misses. A little more money than average but that goes quickly when your used to being "high" figuratively or really.
