Do the famous last words, \u201cI\u2019ve got this!\u201d sound familiar to anyone? The thing is, if we\u2019re die-hard addicts, we don\u2019t \u201cgot this,\u201d but most of us at one point or another have wanted to think that we were in complete control of our drinking or using. The reality is that few people who\u2019ve battled addiction and gotten clean have done so without help, whether it was through counseling, rehab, the twelve steps, or some other recovery program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"understanding-powerlessness-in-addiction\"><\/span>Understanding Powerlessness in Addiction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step one of the twelve steps includes an admission of powerlessness \u2013 our lives have become unmanageable because of whatever it is that we\u2019re using addictively. This could be drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or shopping. And, even after we get clean, it can simply be our own thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Actually, we\u2019re likely always going to be powerless over our thoughts, but we can learn how to direct them. This usually involves turning our will and our lives over to the care of something that\u2019s not, you know, ourselves. This can be a group of fellows in recovery or a God of our understanding. These things are interconnected as well \u2013 our thoughts and our addictions \u2013 so once we can grasp this concept of powerlessness, we\u2019ll have a much better chance of remaining clean (and not going completely insane in the process).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"recognizing-the-signs-of-powerlessness\"><\/span>Recognizing the Signs of Powerlessness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While admitting that we\u2019re powerless and need help can be a challenge, it can sometimes be useful to make a list of the times we tried to control our own addiction and failed. This can help us to put our powerlessness into perspective and enable us to see just how much we truly don\u2019t \u201cgot this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"failed-attempts-to-control-addiction\"><\/span>Failed Attempts to Control Addiction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How many heavy drinkers reading this right now have vowed to only drink on weekends, or at special occasions like weddings, or only after 6 PM? And how many times has that plan failed? If you\u2019ve ever engaged in this kind of planning and scheming around your drinking and repeatedly failed, well, you might be facing (or have faced) some unmanageability in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is just one example of powerlessness \u2013 trying to control drinking and failing. But even feeling the need to control it in the first place generally stems from desperation. You can\u2019t stop on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-strength-in-asking-for-help\"><\/span>The Strength in Asking for Help<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addicts tend to like to control things \u2013 yes, we\u2019re control freaks, and we don\u2019t like to ask for help. Sure, this is a generalization, but it sure does ring true for a lot of us. This is why the admission of powerlessness is actually one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-asking-for-help-is-empowering\"><\/span>Why Asking for Help is Empowering<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can set us on the road to recovery, and it can also help us to navigate other areas of our lives. Asking for help is empowering if viewed from the right angle. It\u2019s also liberating because it frees us up from needing to control every little thing in our lives, which can be excruciatingly exhausting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-role-of-sponsorship-and-support-in-recovery\"><\/span>The Role of Sponsorship and Support in Recovery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This whole idea behind powerlessness in recovery is why so many of us benefit from sponsorship and step work. Sponsorship is another tool born out of the twelve steps, and it\u2019s a very effective one for many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working with a sponsor gives us the opportunity to be accountable for our actions and our recovery, and to ask for help in areas of our lives that are unmanageable as they pertain to our addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"expanding-support-beyond-recovery\"><\/span>Expanding Support Beyond Recovery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can also be a great way to start learning to ask for help in other areas of our lives, which many of us often begin to do after we\u2019ve put together some clean time. We start to do grown-up stuff. We hire accountants to help us with our bookkeeping, therapists to work with us on stuff that sponsors aren\u2019t licensed to help us with, along with other types of mentors and specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If someone breaks an arm, for example, would you consider them weak for going to a doctor to have surgery or a cast put on rather than grabbing a stick from their backyard and tying it to their broken limb with a rope? Probably not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"recovery-is-built-on-connection\"><\/span>Recovery is Built on Connection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a far-out example, but are you starting to see how pretty much the entire planet of humans can\u2019t do life alone? We need each other, and as addicts, in particular, we actually suffer from a disease, or a \u201cdis-ease\u201d if you don\u2019t subscribe to the general disease model. That\u2019s ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However you choose to look at it, addiction stems from some root cause that we really can\u2019t manage. If we could, then all of us who identify as addicts would just be able to put down the drink, the drug, the porn, the poker chips (or whatever our \u201cdrug\u201d of choice is) down and never look back. But that\u2019s not how we operate. Again, we don\u2019t \u201cgot this,\u201d and we can\u2019t do it alone. And, thank God for this. Life is so much easier when we connect and lean on one another, and there\u2019s a ton of freedom in being able to admit this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Johann Hari famously says, \u201cthe opposite of addiction is connection.\u201d We\u2019ve found this to be entirely true time and time again. It\u2019s also pretty awesome that addiction has become more formally recognized over the years as a disease, whether you choose to call it one or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"theres-no-shame-in-seeking-help\"><\/span>There\u2019s No Shame in Seeking Help<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The point being, there\u2019s no reason to be ashamed of asking for help. The majority of us who have managed to put together any extended period of clean time have learned to ask for help, and our lives have changed tenfold as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"kembali-recovery-center-is-here-to-help\"><\/span>Kembali Recovery Center is Here to Help<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you or someone you love is struggling to get clean or maintain recovery, Kembali can help. <a href=\"https:\/\/kembalirehab.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> today to learn all about our different recovery programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, you can choose to view asking for help as a form of empowerment, and you never have to do this alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asking for help is one of the most challenging things many of us will face when we first get clean, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18743,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[45,22,73,24,74,75],"class_list":["post-17478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recovery-and-rehabilitation","tag-addiction","tag-anxiety","tag-bali","tag-drug-and-alcohol-recovery","tag-recover","tag-rehab-for-drugs-and-alcohol"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Help in Recovery: Why Asking for Support is a Strength<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Struggling with addiction?
