It has nothing to do with outside circumstances or conditions.
It's not about what you have lost or not lost.
We all have the same bottom. We all reach a point when we ask for help.
!!! Bottom is an inside job !!! What you've done, what you've lost, etc are just the circumstances that lead to the bottom. Bottom is when you stop going down (getting worse) and start to go up (get better).
