Some people in recovery will attest that hitting a bottom is actually a good circumstance to happen to someone who wants to stay sober. There is no one way to hit a bottom but hitting rock bottom means that you cannot go any further down than where you are. Rock bottom can come in the form of financial, emotional, legal, mental, physical, or spiritual digression that makes a person stoop to the lowest point of incomprehensible demoralization. Often this is the breaking point that will lead someone to finally get sober.

While hitting rock bottom may seem like a terrible place to be, hitting this bottom could really be a great thing to push you in the right direction. You may have a lot of wreckage to clean up surrounding this all-time low, but this could be the very plunge that can make you become the person you were meant to be without drugs and alcohol ruining your chances in life. In fact, understanding the good that can come from this rock bottom may be the very thing that helps you to succeed in your recovery.

You can see what you are actually doing to yourself.

The delusion will finally be smashed if you choose to accept the issues that you have regarding your drinking and using. Instead of looking away like you usually do, you will face your addiction head on so that you no longer have to deal with the dysfunction that is mostly produced from your relationship with drugs and alcohol.

You begin to question what you once knew.

A renewed sense of clarity will be on the horizon when you get sober, attend therapy, and start to do step work. Your rebellions will hopefully cease and make room for the quality people and circumstances that can make your life that much better. The process of self-examination will inevitably change your perspective and give you a new lease on life.

You gain newfound humility.

As you become much clearer on what your purpose is, you will no doubt become more thankful for your situation and review your past actions to learn from them. You will accept yourself with all your faults and your limitations to begin to see yourself in new light of being compassionate, kind, and tolerant.

Rock bottom is where you can find your strength and wisdom to keep moving up from the ground floor. Having this experience is for you and can ultimately help someone else through your personal knowledge of clawing your way out of that pit.
