The moment you open the door and say, okay, I need help, help can come in because you've made yourself available for people to give you help and advice and guidance.
Ever found yourself struggling to ask for help, even when you need it the most? In this episode of the Soberful podcast, hosts Veronica Valli and Chip Somers tackle the tough topic of why asking for help can feel so daunting. Drawing from their combined nearly 50 years of sobriety, they share personal stories and practical advice on how to overcome this common hurdle.
They kick off the discussion by introducing the Sober Kickstart workshop, designed to arm you with essential strategies and hacks for a successful journey to sobriety. Veronica and Chip then dive into their own experiences with asking for help, shedding light on the fears of judgment and ridicule that often hold people back. They also highlight the critical role that professionals like doctors and therapists can play in providing support.
A special mention goes to Russell Brand's book 'Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped', where Brand recounts how Chip's guidance was pivotal in his own recovery. The episode underscores the importance of honesty and trust in mentorship and offers practical tips on finding the right person to ask for help. Whether you're just starting your sobriety journey or have been on the path for a while, this episode is packed with valuable insights and encouragement.
