Why Rock Bottom Can Lead to Getting Help

Hitting “rock bottom” is typically a metaphorical space in which one can find themself in mental, emotional, and potentially physical turmoil. Rock bottom can be attributed to intense periods of withdrawal or feelings of apathy. This experience also tends to occur once the substances start to lose their effects.

Particularly if substances are being used to cope and no longer seem to be helping you cope, this can trigger feelings of apathy or uncertainty with your present circumstances.

How Can Hitting Rock Bottom Facilitate Change?

Despite the discomfort that can come with hitting rock bottom, it can be a major agent of change. Feelings of uncertainty can open you up to the possibilities of creating an ideal future for yourself and your loved ones. Feeling apathetic usually pushes people to actively seek support in facing their problems and challenges head-on. 

The experience of hitting rock bottom can provide a space for self-reflection, bringing awareness to:

  • The state of your mental, emotional, and physical health and well-being

  • The state of close relationships and relationships outside of that network

  • Your performance and attendance at work, school, and in daily life

  • Understanding if or how goals and aspirations have changed

Feeling stuck at rock bottom is a challenging space to be in. Our team at Next Level Recovery Associates can help you process these feelings while collaborating on the road map to your recovery.

How to Support Someone at Rock Bottom

If you or a loved one is experiencing a rock bottom moment, a major aspect of healing is found in feelings of motivation.

Continuing or finding new activities and hobbies that can instill a sense of motivation can help. Working and interacting with supportive and genuine people who respect your commitment to addiction recovery also contributes to feeling motivated.

If your loved one is facing challenges while at rock bottom, it is also crucial that you develop strong self-care and self-advocacy practices that uphold your well-being too. By maintaining your inner peace, it's easier to offer consistent love and compassion to a loved one in need.
