Episode 6: Rock Bottom
Before anyone can begin the rise out of addiction they have to hit THEIR rock bottom. While many can never claw their way back from rock bottom, Ashley finally sees herself as totally stripped down. A great quote that I have alwasy loved is, “Never be afraid to fall apart. It presents an opportunity to rebuild yourself the way you wish you’d been all along.” This quote exemplifies Ashleys battle and needing to completely fall apart and realize she coudn’t self medicate, she couldn’t run anymore she was going to have to rebuild yourself.
