I couldn't have gone much further than I did. I reached a point that I was in an impossible situation, but I can see also that someone with a few brains might see it coming . Such a person could realize the inevitable end of the alcoholic road and make that same rock bottom choice I did.
Live life on a spiritual basis or face an alcoholic death. For most of us denial prevents us seeing the latter, but if you are blessed with a moment of clarity where you can see the truth of your situation, that could be a pretty effective rock bottom.
