Some people may think that drug users need to hit bottom in order to realize and seek treatment. An addict does not need to hit bottom to realize treatment for their addiction is necessary. In reality, if a user hits bottom, then things are really, really bad in their lives. So what is really bad and the bottom like? Well, it is different for everyone. For some it may be loosing their job or getting a divorce. For others they may be so physically ill that they end up in the hospital. The worst case of course is death. That is the very bottom.
You don’t need to reach nearly that far to realize treatment is needed. Just ask yourself some questions and write down all the things you have lost because you let the addiction rule your life. Every drug addiction has a bottom but hopefully you realize it before you get close and decide to seek treatment.
