I am gently nudging a friend that wants to stop drinking into the rooms the other day he told me that he has not hit bottom yet so I told him that I also did not hit bottom before going into the program (after drinking every day for about 25years atleast a pint of booze and a twelve pack of beer towards the end)I said do you really want to hit bottom we have been fortunate and are ahead of the game leave the table now the house always wins ."Bottom" could be failing organs killing someone losing your house or job a jail door slamming in your face.i am so grateful at how gracefully I was led into sobriety I entered sobriety out of love and inspiration I see now it was 100% gods will that brought me to where I am now almost 8 months sober my master plan was to die a drunk I had never entered the idea of moderation let alone sobriety i try to recognize this every day
