Give In to the notion that it's not only OK - but essential to simply say "help me". Give In - to sobriety and embrace its promise and its possibility. Then... Give It All You've Got - by taking firm, committed actions to support a choice of a better life. Surround yourself with changes and actions that support and enable sober living. Give yourself to it.... And watch the magic happen.
