Back to a state of stability or well-being after being on the verge of utter ruin, failure, or destruction. The massive success of our latest product pulled the company back from the brink of bankruptcy. I was in a really dark, hopeless place, but the support and love of my family helped me come back from the brink. The success of the negotiations have brought the country back from the brink of all-out civil war.
