Finding Strength in Sobriety: Lara Frazier's Journey with Alcoholics Anonymous
Admitting I needed help gave me the strength to learn it's okay not to be able to do everything all the time. And once I admitted that to myself, I developed a different, sustainable level of self-esteem that made me stop using my self-will to validate my self-worth, and that is where my power lies.
