When There's Nothing Left to Burn...

...You Have to Set Yourself On Fire.
So say the Stars. A Canadian band I was introduced to by my good friend Jason.

This phrase has been looping through my head since Sunday.
That, and
"Live through this and you won't look back."

There are times in our lives, when we absolutely have to go it alone because as a result of some part of ourselves, we've managed to set ablaze everything around us that could have helped.
It's called Rock Bottom.
Addicts experience this state of being right before they finally realize that it's time to go and get help.
It's usually after some traumatic event of their own creation and it may have resulted in everyone around them turning their backs on them.

Welcome to it.

It's not fun. It's not pretty. But it is necessary. And for the people who have turned their backs it's just as difficult. To be forced to take that step is nothing short of Abhorrent.
