HELP:

~

It's okay to ask for help.

We don't have to struggle through feelings and problems alone. We
can ask for help from our Higher Power and for support and
encouragement from our friends.

Whether what we need is information, encouragement, a hand, a
word, a hug, someone who will listen, or a ride, we can ask. We can
ask people for what we need from them. We can ask the God of our
understanding for what we need from the God of our understanding.

It is self-defeating to not ask for the help we need. It keeps us stuck.
If we ask long and hard enough, if we direct our request to the right
source, we'll get the help we need.

There is a difference between asking someone to rescue us and
asking someone in a direct manner for the help we need from him or
her. We can be straightforward and let others choose whether to help
us or not. If the answer is no, we can deal with that.

It is self-defeating to hint, whine, manipulate, or coerce help out of
people. It is annoying to go to people as a victim and expect them to
rescue us. It is healthy to ask for help when help is what we need.

We who are eager to help others can learn to allow ourselves to
receive help. We can learn to make clean contracts about asking for
and receiving the help we want and need.
