how do you know when an addict has hit his real rock bottom? is there signs to look for that they are ready to get help? husband has had a whole lot of rock bottems.he even says everyday is rock bottom,but im not seeing it. ive been around him for a few days,and ive seen a little difference.he has given me as little money,but i feel like he was giving it to me to shut me up and that he felt guilty for either holding out more money or he bought dope. i don't have any money for him to take,he is the only one with a job right now and i feel like im burdening him because the few dollars he has given me has taken away from his habit. if anyone knows anything about the signs of a true rock bottom,please help me to understand this.thanks,God bless

I'm an alcoholic and have had several rock bottoms myself. This is a progressive illness, and it is my experience that my bottoms have been worse each time. I've been told that the bottom is when we stop digging. I've been told that when the pain outweighs the pleasure we will stop. So, it is my perception that you can't really put a time thing on his and wait for it or cause it to happen. If you want to get a picture of a bottom, though, read my journal (the first entry ever posted).....and I'm just getting over the most horrible relapse of my life. I think people have different tolerance levels for the pain they can endure. Since I am now in the middle of psychotherapy work and codependent issues, I can't give much advice there, as I'm finding it difficult myself to get over these behaviors.

I think the only one who knows they hit rock bottem is your husband..for some all it takes is a stay in jail or a pschyc ward to realize that they need help for some it's alot worse. Do your self a real favor seek out a alanon meeting in your area and maybe try looking for a job in which you can take care of yourself if possible.
