    all i’m trying to say littleoutrage is that i have NO sympathy for someone seeking to profit from laments about how he spent his spare time and money. it’s like andybaby said… DRUGS ARE BORING…. except of course for those getting high. O.K. so BOOO-FUCKING-HOOO the high let the urban proffesional down…who would have thought it posssible. since this mundane chump carr fancies himself a writer let me quote the great PERCY SHELLEY… ” MAN WHO MAN WOULD BE MUST RULE THE EMPIRE OF HIMSELF.

    I THOUGHT THIS WAS ABOUT DAVID CARR THE FLOP OF A QUARTERBACK….would’ve been an equally appropriate title.

    Unfortunately, the sad truth is that many addicts never find that personal “rock bottom.” They just die. In that respect, Carr is certainly one of the luckier ones.

    The point is that every person has their own individual version of rock bottom, their personal limit as to what they’re able to tolerate from their own behavior, the point at which they’re ready to admit they have no control over their addictions and are ready to start a genuine attempt at recovery. That’s what “rock bottom” means. To some people, rock bottom is having a bottle of wine and yelling at your kid a few times too often. Others have to lose a house, a job, or a marriage first.

    As someone who’s worked with alcoholics, I’ve heard plenty of dick-waving testimony about “pssssht, you think that’s rock bottom? Buddy I was passed out in that fucking gutter, blah blah blah.” Everyone has one of these stories, usually exaggerated and always missing the point.

    I though rock bottom was awaking in a gutter drenched in a cesspool of your own piss, vomit, and sewage. Your head in a daze, not knowing where you are, or much less what day it is- Your pants are missing and your asshole burning, certain that you allowed yourself to be sodomized numerous times for a gram or two.

    At this point, you could be DEAD and no one would give a flying fuck, and worst of all is that you’ve just awakened from your blacked-out state fully aware of this fact.

    The guy you describe isn’t rock bottom, he’s just an ordinary loser. People with a conscience tend to put neglecting their children in the personal hell category and a loveless marriage in the I’ll fix it tomorrow category.

    you call that rock bottom…. OH PLEASEEEEEE….. spare me these foolish yuppie dramatics about writing a book about writing a book about a so called rock bottom.

    I like the way you think. :) Very pleased. Drugs ARE fucking boring, and every story is more or less the same. Bleh.

    This guy should get a suit, and catch a crowded train on time to a boring 9 to 5 job, answer to his prick of a boss, and do it for 30 years for a wife who wont fuck him anymore, and kids who disrespect him, then he’ll know true pain.
