Kathleen,

What you are saying here is very much in line with Step one in all the 12 Step programs. I guess I never progressed beyond the first half of step 1 - the powerless part. As long as I thought my life was manageable, I have tried to do it on my own. Three decades stuck at this point drove me to RR.

So yes, I could say I need help. It has been hell just hanging out on a weak branch all by myself.

Have been faithfully following all four parts of Step 1 and getting better with journaling in Step 2. Other than that, I haven't a clue.

Being able to see that it is insanity
: is a HUGE step :h2)

: What I am hoping you can also see is
: that you ar still thinking that
: YOU, alone and by your onesies
: can figure it out. That particular
: way of problem solving has not
: worked yet :h4)

: It is true YOU do not know what to do
: now.

: the key here is to let us HELP you
: :h5)

: But the way it works is that we don't
: do that until you ask..Part of
: what step one is about is giving
: up that unworkable belief that YOU
: all by yourself have to sort it.

: Would you like some help :h12)
