Today's thought from Hazelden is:
We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth. --George Bernard Shaw
In order to get well, we have to admit that we alone are powerless over our disease. We need other people to help us.
This is hard for us to do. We aren't used to needing anyone or asking for help. We all pushed people away.
We know now that our way never worked, and that we need help. There will always be someone who will help lead us along the path toward the health and serenity we want. But to ask for this help takes both courage and humility. We gain support from this risk, and also new strength, fellowship, and wisdom. Each time we take the chance to ask for help, we are exercising control over our lives.
Today let me remember I am not alone by asking another for something I need.
