2. Does the Addict Have to Hit Bottom?
We’ve all heard the old line, “A person has to hit the bottom before he’ll realize he needs to quit drugs.” This is one of those sayings that have just barely enough truth in them to literally kill someone.
We are talking here about drug addiction, a potentially lethal activity that is practically defined by poor and dangerous choices. To “hit bottom” can be a deadly or nearly deadly event. You may as well teach a child to stay out of traffic by letting him be hit by a truck.
