There was a point in my addiction I thought I was THE man.
This pretense largely masked an underlying lack of confidence and self-esteem; I believed the issues I was having was because of those around me as opposed to my decision making.
There is nothing like walking into a room of strangers, baring your soul and breaking down to fully appreciate how powerless I was.
In today’s world, there is this belief that asking for help is a sign of weakness, and that walking roughshod over people is a sign of strength.
It takes a considerable amount of strength and humility to acknowledge our weaknesses and ask for help. It’s how communities are built. Not only strengthening myself, humility strengthens my personal relationships and creates an environment of cooperation and connection.
