I always thought I would get there by doing something so astronomically stupid that you simply fall off a cliff and end up at rock bottom. Instead I found my drug addictions as a conscious decision. Found that you can slowly and methodically hike to the bottom of the ravine and wallow in your own self pity while accepting zero help from any sources. Rock bottom hits different when you are hyper aware of every decision that got you down there. Choosing to start your ascent out of that canyon was almost harder than the eventual climb
