What is Rock Bottom?

[Sophie]

He also said that he knows he is not stable.

I find myself using the word 'unstable' to describe my H!!

My H admits he is not stable. But, in the same breath, coming home he says, is not going to do anything for him! It has been SO long...I remember when he first moved out, my friend asked me how long I was going to wait for him to come back...I thought...If he's not back in 3 months, I'm out of here!..HA! Here I am 2 years and 3 months later...but, I'm happier about myself now than I was 2 years ago.

So...it helps me to know that MLC is about an individual establishing stability within themselves...and not with the help of anyone one else. Like that old commerical 'I'd rather do it myself!!"

I've wonder about 'rock bottom'... because it seems things are getting worse for him. And, I haven't been in the picture much!

What is it like in their low, low points...and how do they pull themselves up?

I love all the input here and it the similarity is somehow, comforting.
