Raising someones bottom is very hard to do what seems like a bottom to me could be Mt. Everest to the A in my life...
I have never seen more creativity wasted than in the tactics an Addict will use to keep using and blaming someone else for their choices. Rehab, jail, evals, choices, ultimatums, homelessness, joblessness, total void of spiritual life, for some this is not a bottom unfortunately cause they still have their mind set on using and believe someone else has put them in their situation...someone else did in fact put them there the self that they have become not who they really are. You can hit that wall of denial with a Sherman tank and it still won't fall in some cases. I hope your H is different from mine....
