 By the way my wife had been asking me to stop drinking for about 3 years. I just thought I could control it. I couldn’t admit I was drinking entirely too much.

My wife was right there with me drinking as much as I was. How our marriage survived is a miracle.

Rock bottom would be if your girlfriend left you, your family disowned you, you lost your job, house, and car, went completely broke, and maybe got arrested for DUI or possession or worse.


I get your point. And you are right. I’m saying what I felt at the time was my rock bottom.

My brother has been addicted to one thing or another for 20+ years. Every time we think he’s hit rock bottom, he dynamites the hole and keeps going.

At one point last winter, he was staying in a Burger King all day and heading the the hospital’s ER waiting room at night.
