In the words of JK Rowling, whose rock bottom became a solid foundation in which she rebuilt her life.
Her greatest fear had been realised, she had failed on an "epic scale". She stopped pretending to herself, that she was anything other than what she was and began to direct all of her energy into finishing the only work that mattered to her. She was still alive, she had a daughter she adored, a big dream and a typewriter. Had she succeeded at anything else, she might never have found the determination, to succeed in the one arena, where she truly belonged.
"Some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously, that you might as well have not lived at all, in which case, you have failed by default.
You control your own life. Your own WILL is extremely powerful."
Never, ever quit.
