I go to AA... And my story includes drinking and suicide attempts as well... I don't always share it but I try to when there is a newcomer in the room in case their story matches mine more than the physical bottom drunks. My bottom was emotional. I hated myself, still do on occasion. Still trying to learn to love myself, kinda in between the two at the moment. But I also still get suicidal. Been going thru a stretch of that recently, actually. I was never arrested but I have been committed to the hospital.

There are more than it seems that have that emotional bottom. I know plenty of people who have at least considered suicide because of their drinking and drugging. Sometimes, for some people, it's too hard to talk about regularly.
