I fell off the wagon tonight. Not just the vegetarian wagon. I fell off THE WAGON. I found myself in the muddy tracks of the Oregon Trail, hiding between the sheets and moaning loud enough for my entire hall to hear. I had finally hit rock bottom.
My sister used to say that bottom was not a place to be. She's right. Bottom is a place to work from, to climb out of. One needs perspective to understand how bad it can be so that one appreciates how good it is.
