I Don't NEED____
I don’t NEED you. I don’t WANT to get help. I am JUST FINE.
Did you ever say those words to yourself or someone else? I did. I thought that my life was fine – that everything was under control, I had it covered. I could take care of myself.
I didn’t realize everyone around me could see I was drowning and they were offering a life preserver. In each addiction I succumbed to, whether it was alcohol, cocaine, sex, self, money-name it- I was so over my head. I didn’t think there was any way I could return to sanity. I thought I would never get out of the hole I had dug myself into.
But finally I admitted I NEEDED help. That my life was in ruins and I NEEDED to believe something greater than me could make me stable in life again. I piece of hope that maybe, in getting help and being accountable to someone, things could change and they did.
You are not alone. You are really loved even if you don’t feel like you are. You can ask for help. You really can have hope that things can change.
