Hitting bottom is the place that an alcoholic must reach before he can finally admit that he has a problem and reaches out for help. Of course, an alcoholic is in denial to the fact that he has a problem and the last thing that occurs to a true alcoholic, is that they need help.
Alcoholism is a progressive disease and therefore any alcoholic will reach a point in which they decide that there might be a problem. As alcoholism progresses, it continues to affect the alcoholic physically and mentally. They will get worse and worse, until they hit bottom.
'Bottom' is a place in which all alcoholics will reach, but when, simply depends on the individual. Some alcoholics will continue for many years, denying their state, but the bottom will be hit, even by the most dedicated alcoholics.
