There are a lot of myths and misconceptions when it comes to the idea of rock bottom. When you really understand what addiction is like, you're able to get help for yourself or someone you know before something terrible happens. 

The inspiration for this video came from the recent news stories surrounding investigations around the Las Vegas shooter Steven Paddock. All of the news organizations talk about how he was a gambler, but nobody recognizes that he may have had a gambling addiction, but nobody was able to spot his rock bottom. 

This is extremely common. Celebrities like Heath Ledger, Carrie Fisher, Chris Farley and Michelle McNamara all hit rock bottom and died of a fatal overdose. If celebrity addiction doesn't wake us up to the fact that rock bottom can take many forms, more people are going to die from addiction and overdoses. 

My addiction story includes my rock bottom and how much different it was for my mom and my friend. I had to know how to help a friend who had an addiction when his rock bottom looked much different than mine. 

Hopefully this video gives you some additional addiction education that you can use to help yourself or a loved one.
