What was your bottom

[stilltrying1965]

Im over 105 days clean. I got clean coz i hit rock bottom. My bottom was i was bringing the wrong ppl home, who eventualy turned on me over a debt . I was going  to end up dead, lose my wife and  family,  counless court apperances and living and  blocking out my past. Only when i hit my rock bottom did i do anything about it. But that was me,,,,,,James

Congrats James on over 205 days clean!

Bottom took many forms for me. Each one I thought would be my last wasn't, there was always an excuse to keep using and going further down. I wanted to die every time I came down, and I didn't see a way out. I blew a hole through my septum and then, for some reason that silly little thing made me look  in the mirror and realize what I had become. 19 years of using and something that stupid scared me straight. Go figure. Well, whatever works!
Honestly, it was that and one other thing. I was finally getting something out of life and feared losing it. Scared I was going to screw it up like I did so many times before. It was easier to continue on a downward spiral when there was nothing to lose.
