Hitting rock bottom is a term most often associated with drugs or alcohol. Neither of these things were factors in my fall. For me hitting rock bottom was a matter of failure. Failing to keep a good relationship with my husband. Failing to be an example of a good, responsible adult to my children. Failing to keep my job. Failing to be a truly good person. Failing as a person. Personal failure. Financial failure. Spiritual failure.
Failing = Falling
It's a frightening thing to wake up one day and realize you have no money. NONE! No way to pay the rent, the bills, or even to buy food. Even more frightening is the realization that you have done this to yourself and your family and you somehow failed to see what was happening until it was too late.
For me, this is rock bottom and the rocks are sharp and painful.
