The Bottom

We all have a different bottom. Mine was when I realized that I had two choices. They were to die or live and get clean. All of the grey areas and lies were gone. I have seen many addicts over the years with many different bottoms. Some are high bottoms where they have not lost much of who they are and then low bottoms where they have completely lost who they are as a person.

I am sad tonight because I am watching a dear friend crash from up over the arc, the space where we leave the pull of gravity and enter outer space. He now has to fall all the way to earth and I am not sure he will not burn up as he reenters the atmosphere. He may have done so much damage to himself through his alcohol and drug use that he will never get back.

Unfortunately that is what we do to ourselves and of course to all the others in our life that we never think about. What I re-member each day is that it is all a gift and that each of us is a student and teacher. As I stated before I do not judge, I work to be the student learning from the teacher. Is everyone listening to the message?
