My rock bottom was scary. I was engaged to a man who knew about my alcohol problem and that I was trying to quit drinking but would give me alcohol anyway to help keep me under his control.
It ended with him trying to kill me, and my 5 year old daughter calling 9-11. That’s when I knew I couldn’t do this anymore and I needed to get help.

Thank you sweetie :heart:, I’m sorry that it made you cry. I never intended to make anyone sad.

I hope we all in here got this, and if we don’t got this yet, we’re all here to support eachother.
Everyone who has taken the step to recovery and is in here are just as strong people as I am. We all have a history that lead us to where we are today.

I’ve spent years trying to hide and forget mine, to just be “normal”, apparently that didn’t work, so this time I’m trying something new.

Thank you for reading and responding.

I wish you all the best :cherry_blossom:

I definitely have had a few rock bottoms. Anytime I had an overdose I would hit rock bottom and change (that change was short lived unfortunately tho). I hit a rock bottom when I got raped by 5 men when I was working in the sex trade (which was to support my addiction, so they were directly related). I hit a rock bottom when I started using needles. I hit a rock bottom when drugs were a huge reason for domestic violence when it came to my abusive ex. But Fast forward many years later… I no longer work in the trade, I dont shoot up, and I haven’t overdosed in a very long time. Im in a healthy relationship now. But What I’m wanting and am doing now being 2 days clean is to not HAVE TO hit a rock bottom before I change. My life is actually good I just used to struggle with addiction. Wether I used due to escaping trauma etc I don’t know. But im done… I honestly have too much to lose today. So why do I have to hit such a low to change. I don’t need to. I can just change and live clean :relieved:
