Asking for help is the cornerstone of sobriety, though, it’s one of the biggest barriers that prevent us from getting sober and living out our true potential.
Why is asking for help so challenging, especially when it comes to sobriety? In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, host Omar Pinto dives into this very question. Asking for help is a crucial step in the recovery journey, yet it's often the hardest. Many people fear vulnerability, rejection, and disappointment, making it difficult to reach out. Some might not even know where to start or lack the social skills to seek assistance.
Omar tackles these issues head-on, offering insights into why asking for help feels so daunting. He explains that this fear often stems from childhood experiences, where seeking approval from the wrong people set a pattern of reluctance and self-doubt. The episode features Pauly, who is making significant career changes but struggles with asking for help due to past experiences of being taken advantage of and seeking validation from toxic influences.
Listeners will hear Pauly's story and how he identifies the root of his fears, tracing them back to a pivotal childhood incident. Omar and the group provide guidance and support, showing that while asking for help can be intimidating, it's a vital step towards breaking free from unhealthy habits and achieving a fulfilling life. This episode is perfect for anyone navigating their own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is.
It's a candid look at the barriers to seeking help and the incredible benefits of overcoming them. If you're looking for practical advice and heartfelt stories, this episode offers both in abundance.
