Remember Mindfulness – relax your body

Asking for help

Help, I’ve got a problem! The simplified version of
Step One begins like that, with good reason.
Learning to ride a bicycle for the first time, you
would probably ask for help without shame or
hesitation. Yet something stops us asking for help to
learn sobriety. Once again, our pride is to blame.
People in recovery know that it does them good to
help others and clearly, they are the people to ask
because they are demonstrably getting it right. Step
Two is about asking for help because we cannot do
this alone. Do I see the sense in asking for help?

If I am rigorously honest, I will recognise the need
for outside help. When I am dealing with something
as powerful as addiction, I need to find the most
powerful help available – my Higher Power, which
works not by a flash of light, but through other
people. There is no easy way – I must swallow my
pride and ask for help when I am struggling.
Perhaps a phone call. It could be the most important
call I ever make. May I have the honesty to
recognise when I am struggling, so that I may
overcome my pride and reach out to ask for help.
