Here’s the truth nobody tellsyou, rock bottom can be the best thing that ever happened to you — not becauseit feels good, but because it finally tells you the truth.

Not the inspirational posterversion. The real version. The version where your stomach is tight, your prideis wrecked, and you are staring at the ceiling at 2:00 a.m. trying to figureout how you got here.

If you are in that place rightnow, I’m not going to sugar-coat it: it hurts. It’s humiliating. It’s lonely.But it’s also the one place where the excuses die and the honest work finallystarts.
