Suze, I think we have differing levels of 'rock bottom' in the same way we have differing addictions. A Little like Andy's 'soccer mom' I thought my drinking was gluttony but not addiction as I measured it against me ex who drank vodkas at 8 am purely to function. But I knew I had to do something when I could no longer meet my own eye in the morning mirror when I promised not to drink 'that night' knowing full well I would. I didn't lose my job, my family, my home, but I lost my self respect and loathed the woman in the mirror. That was my personal nadir.
