Remember Mindfulness – review expectations
Sharing problems

Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil
the law of Christ. St Paul, Galatians.
Getting into recovery does not mean that we
won’t have challenges ahead. The message is
that a problem shared is a problem halved.
Connection and sharing are the answer to so
many of life’s problems. Letting go of the
burdens of the past will help us too. Am I
ready to let go of the past and shar today’s
problems, because that is the sensible and
human thing to do?

I used to think that I should be able to handle my
problems myself and that asking for help was a sign
of weakness. But self-reliance isolates us, and
society does not work well like that. Helping others
should be a pleasure and if we avoid help, we may
be denying others the chance of self-improvement
and the self-respect that comes from giving. Today
I will ask for help when I need it, because realism is
honesty and asking for help is connecting.
