Asked For Help
My son would look at me and say,”Mom, why do you
have to drink so much?” He was about eleven years old
at the time. So one night I got on my knees and said,
“God, change me or let me die.” It was at this point in
my life that I called Alcoholics Anonymous and asked
for help. They sent two ladies over to my house.

Thought to Ponder . . .
Refusing to ask for help when you need it
is refusing someone the chance to be helpful.
