I've barely begun reading, "Unwasted: My Lush Sobriety" by Sacha Z. Scoblic, but this quote caught my attention right away:


"You haven't hit bottom until you stop digging. Bottom isn't skid row or the heartbreaking sound of a child coughing; bottom is just where you happen to be when you stop tunneling and start climbing."


What a simple way to say it - Rock Bottom is simply the moment you decide to stop digging & start climbing.

At an AA meeting, I once heard a lady say,as she was crying;"I'm just thankful that the 'bar' for our 'rock bottom' has been raised." Really stuck with me!

I read it a while ago, and I remember I liked it. EXCELLENT description of what "bottom" really is. My late sponsor used to say that "every bottom has a trap door," too. And it's true. But the more positive idea is that you can choose your bottom (lol, I originally typed "pick your bottom" but that brought a rather gross image to mind).
