I agree with the thought that one's bottom is the point you are at when you stop digging. But what got the shovel out my hands?
After a night of uncontrolled drinking, waking with the most monstrous hangover, the veil of denial was lifted and I had a moment of utter clarity. For a brief instant I saw my drinking as it really was. More importantly I saw exactly where it was headed if I didn't stop.
So I stopped.
