Another late response--
Another way to approach this is not to focus on "bottoms" so much as the positives of life without drinking. So it's not so much "how low do I have to go" but "how much more could I get out of life if I were sober, if I were free of the obsession with drinking?" Ask yourself what kind of life you really want. Do you think you can keep drinking and have that life?

I spent so much time, money, opportunites,. Drinking kept me away from myselt, a cruch that kept me feeling inferior, and exuse and the reason why I never completed my purpose and mission.
I hurt some many pople, made so many bad decsions, wasted so much. I relize either I clean up and live a differnet way or die alone broken.
11 days sober, one day at a time.

I'm of the opinion that everybody who truthfully seeks treatment has reached a bottom in some way or another. Even if its not as low as other bottoms it may be to them. The fact that your friend decided that they needed to stay sober for that year shows that they knew about the problem. I would remind them of that and see about getting them into AA or some program if at all possible.
