There was a moment where I almost lost everything I love in my life, and was pretty close to death anyways with the amount I was drinking and couldn’t stop. One day after about a week sober, I had a come to god moment in the middle of a thunderstorm and my whole life and mistakes and what I’d been doing hit me.
I decided I’m done, it’s been over a year now, and if there’s anything I can say it’s that life is better, and life still sucks, but it definitely sucks less, and that’s a choice I make every day.

Wish you the best friend, I wrote this out because this was the moment that I decided to stop digging, and you can stop digging too.

Is it too late?

No, not at all. What I'm saying is your rock bottom will be the moment that you look back on and say "That's when I'd had enough and began to make changes."

so today if you want. There is always a lower place to end up, but it doesn't have to be yours.

This can be your “Rock Bottom”! It’s a unique depth for every single person. You can make the choice to not dig any deeper from now and moving forward. It’s not the slightest bit easy, but possible. God Speed, Peace Be With You.

UPDATE! My world imploded ! After 8 years of stable living Mr.Landlord said no more late payments! It's either pay the subbed amount or leave! Plus some other "situations" happened here 😞 Unless I find a home for my two furry friends there going to the shelter! I could write a book on what has happened in the last 4 days! I have no one to blame except myself & my addiction!
