It's a real strength to be able to ask for help, because it was a real battle for me to do it.
Struggling to ask for help even when you desperately need it? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle the tough topic of seeking help in addiction and recovery. They dive into why it's so hard to reach out, even when silence only makes things worse. The stigma around vulnerability, fear of rejection, and the misconception that asking for help is a sign of weakness all play a role in this resistance.
But as Graham and Martin point out, seeking help is actually a show of strength and resilience. Sharing your story can open doors to support and break down walls of isolation and shame. While self-help resources have their place, nothing beats the wisdom and experience of others who’ve walked the same path. Graham and Martin stress the importance of finding communities where you can connect with people who truly get what you're going through.
Throughout their discussion, they manage to sprinkle in humor, making a serious subject feel a bit lighter. They also share their own stories about asking for help, highlighting both the challenges and rewards of being vulnerable. As they wrap up, they remind listeners that they’re not alone on this journey. Whether you're just starting out or have been in recovery for years, reaching out for support can be a powerful step toward healing and hope.
So why not take that step today? Tune in to hear more about how asking for help can transform your recovery journey.
