First Rock Bottom: Crafting Sobriety from the Chaos of Alcoholism, Part Three

Send us Fan MailWhat's up to my cacophonous crows and mellifluous magpies! BNP here, serving up a hot course of that weekly content you know and love. My Meowzers is snuggled up against a lucky bamboo, my mini fountain is gurgling, pressing water past my full moon-charged quartz, citrine, aventurine and tourmaline, and I am perched upon my elliptical, huffing and puffing beside my hanging Pothos plants, scribbling digitally to get this summary out. Scribbles making scribbles making scribbles...This episode is Part Three of the original BNP Series, Crafting Sobriety from the Chaos of Alcoholism. This installment is a dogged continuation of the personal recounting of my alcohol career, and it takes us up to 2009, a few months before my first rock bottom. First rock bottom? But surely one of the many totally fucked tales you tell in this episode counts for at least one rock bottom, you ask? Au contraire, beloved ruffians. This week's tales are harrowing, but despite all the mayhem in my rearview mirror, I was still fairly comfortable (at least consciously) within the cozy confines of my addiction. I would need a total of three rock bottoms before finally wrenching my thirsty Russian-Finnish booze-blood away from the cursed devil sauce once and for all. Part Four, coming soon, will pick up where this episode leaves off, and will chronicle the nitty gritty particulars of those three foundational and nightmarish nights.
