Rock bottom is a myth, the only true rock bottom is death...we can ALLWAYS go lower till that point. My personal rock bottom was reached whenever I threw down the shovel and stopped digging....it is a choice....

I got clean relativly young, I was 23, and now I'm comming up on 2 years clean. My roommate was 19 when he went to treatment, he has been clean ever since and has a little over 2 years.

It's great to get clean no matter how old you are, but especially when you are young. I have my whole life ahead of me now that I wouldn't have had had I kept using. Recently I got accepted into the best culinary school in the country and I'm moving to NY in feb to attend it....NO WAY would I have ever guess this would happen when I got clean.
