I’VE HIT ROCK BOTTOM. ALCOHOL HAS DESTROYED MY LIFE
I’ve been a super heavy drinker since my teens. I’ve almost lost my job, I’ve lost my fiancée, and I’m going to college full time and support my two kids as a single dad. Enough is TOO MUCH! It’s time to stop the booze for good! Join me in a journey to sobriety!

    All these comments gatekeeping rock bottom. Ill do you all the favor: you don't hit rock bottom till your dead. There, so unless you are dead you can't comment on rock bottom. Obvious hyperbole aside, can we please stop focusing on the nuaunces and give people who are struggling some empathy/sympathy.

      @@joshb7326 Understood. I don't know you, so nothing I'm saying or asking is a judgment. Also, I'm not bragging. Seriously trying to help. I was extremely skinny, shy, and awkward for my first 27 years of life. I've definitely gotten better looking with age, which isn't saying much! But even during my least attractive, least secure phases, I was able to date because I was interesting. Being passionate about life and constantly improving my communication skills was what helped the most, I believe. And I'm not talking about putting on airs of confidence and trying to dominate conversations. It's about active listening most of all. Asking questions, being genuinely interested in the response. Not thinking about what I'm going to say when someone else is talking. But it's also about not being passive and trying to ingratiate myself with women. Women aren't looking for a "nice guy" first. "Nice" is the bare minimum. It can't be the focus, and it doesn't win any brownie points. Being interesting is the key, but not faking it. Being deeply passionate is what it's about. Can't fake that for long. Sorry to go on for so long, but I really feel for you. Of course, you're free to ignore, and I don't know you, but I believe you can find your match. You've probably just been going about it the wrong way.

    Allow me to explain "rock bottom". It is a moment of unadulterated honesty with ourselves that we have reached the end of our endurance, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Followed immediately by the willingness to do exactly as we're told, by people who have been there. Which means actually PHUCKING doing it!

    Look your 38, and yeah, youve lost some and realized your behavior with alcohol is causing it. Now it may FEEL like rock bottom at the moment but I caution you that you CAN lose more if you dont get straight. There is NO way but the HARD way. I too have had my life messed up from alcohol but you CAN stop it. Go see someone at an AA meeting and they can direct you to resources. You will have to lose "friends" and change your lifestyle to survive this. Its worth it. Do it now. Ask for help.

      @@pennyfleming3006 Catch up? How does one "catch up" to ones self? As a recovering alcoholic, it wasn't until I learned about Buddhism and it's philosophy about our existence that I realized that we are the authors of our own life story. Getting to know your true self is, I admit, very difficult but doable. After that, the rest is easy. I have the utmost compassion for those addicted to anything, be it harmful or benign. Addictions are merely the worst manifestation of desire. When you say "such ignorance is a thing of the past", I think it's self contradictory.

      @@niemi5858 It seems that your compassion isnt well worded. It ultimately doesn’t matter what philosophy aids a person to recover from addiction. Its the recovery that matters and I commend you on yours. It’s certainly a process that’s not easy. My disagreement with your response is that you are using what works for you as a tool that will work for all and, as the last decade of multidisciplinary research clearly shows, is that that is simply not the case. You would know that traditional ‘rehabs’ have an abysmal success rate. Still only 2-4% after only one year. AA also has similar success rates over time. I would not be surprised if that knowledge is what drove you further afield in your own journey to sobriety. But in addiction we now know that one size does not fit all and it’s clear that its more than helpful to not try to show any addict their way to sobriety. It’s clear that a myriad of options, of paths if you will, is showing far greater statistically outcomes.
