If I'm going to ask for help, I need to be willing to accept the help that is being given, and I don't care who you f***ing are or where you come from, or how much money you have or don't have.

In this episode of Sober Pod, they tackle the often uncomfortable topic of seeking help during recovery. They dive into the stigma that surrounds it and explore various ways to reach out. Both hosts share their personal stories, with Carl admitting how his reluctance to appear vulnerable kept him from getting the assistance he needed.
Chelsea highlights the value of honesty, explaining how being open about struggles can actually pave the way for genuine support. They also discuss the risks of bottling up emotions, pointing out how it can lead to relapse and other setbacks. Throughout the episode, they stress the importance of community and spirituality, sharing anecdotes about how prayer has been a cornerstone in their recovery journeys.
By the end, they offer a heartfelt call-to-action: don't hesitate to ask for help and be open to receiving it. It's a powerful reminder that seeking support is a brave and crucial step in the path to sobriety.
