And then, a chink of light as the hard work begins - rehab; twelve-step meetings; endless, tedious, painful self-reflection - a rollercoaster ride through self-acceptance, friendship, love and hope, to a joy and pride in staying sober that her younger self could never have imagined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShining a light on the deep connection between addiction and mental health issues, \u003ci\u003eGlorious Rock Bottom\u003c\/i\u003e is in turn, shocking, brutal, dark, funny, hopeful and uplifting.
