Well gosh... if the definition of hitting bottom is the day you finally surrender and quit then I guess the point at which I quit was my bottom.. but I truly feel there are many levels to truly hitting bottom just as the many levels of Dante's hell....and without my program that's only one drink away, and that's how I perceive my addiction... I can alway's one "down" myself a level if I were to continue... so I'll just let this be as we all have our own perception I suppose, I just alway's stigmatized "hitting bottom" with loosing all, and that is different for everyone so I stand informed and somewhat corrected. Thanks for letting me share!
Oh.. Chalkie.. despite all that was said by your A.. I assure you, your in no way to blame and be the reason for his addiction or potential "hic-cups".. this I do promise you!
