Rowling said it best, "Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I built my life," It could be one losing a job, a spouse leaving, having a child taken away by family services, maybe it was watching your best friend or fiancée overdose, it could be sitting in a cold jail cell or it may be one is just sick and tired of being sick and tired.

When I did it the first time, I was part of culture B, and I remember that I felt like such an outsider, even though there were other people that were in my culture with me.
