My rock bottom was weeping at 4 in the morning and I had full support of my entire family.
@sarahsweets the weeping is because alcohol is a depressant and reduces serotonin in the brain. You were trying to chase the dopamine and all the while slowly reducing your serotonin levels. Your body was dependent on the alcohol to function, all the while it was making you more and more depressed. And a person also has to consume more and more alcohol to gain the dopamine euphoria they are chasing to feel good.
