Do people who never hit bottom truly know what real faith is?

There have been times when I thought I was as close to bottom as I have ever been and I always see someone or think of someone who has it worse than me. Those were times when faith wasn't really in my mind, but I was thankful. In my case, I found faith when things were going very well for me. I met Aimee and I had discussions about what it was to be truly in love and to love without condition. I don't think a person has to find bottom in order to find faith. I've been pretty low in my life at times and faith never entered into my head. I got to a point where I really didn't see myself on this earth in 10 years. Now that I'm with Aimee, I have reason to live and my faith runs very deep. I must say that I'm still a bit of a stranger to it. I'm going to church and reading things I never thought I would before, in an effort to understand better. I was working hard to make my life better when Aimee and I got together. I think that the effort I was making was a bit of a character reference and she saw something in me. I think if I had any faith at all during those hard times, it was in myself first of all. I found myself clawing my way back to a normal existence from a deep depression. I'm happy now and I play on keeping it that way. My faith has grown from the need to stay alive to the desire to truly live.
