Many people who were living with mental health disorders and addiction were willing to become willing to reach out for the help they needed to find recovery. They simply were not willing to reach out but they became willing to become so. They knew that they needed to reach out and soon they did so because they wanted to become willing and they did. It seams like I am talking in riddles but I’m not. They simply wanted to want to be well. It’s similar to the idea of being reasonable and reasonably happy leads to being happy, joyous, and free. When we reach out for help to help ourselves one day at a time we find growth happens to us even when we don’t know it’s happening. It’s the gift of commitment. Not every day is a bed of roses but the gift of commitment changes our lives. We learn to deal with adversity. We are now willing to reach out for help. Thank God for this willingness and this gift of commitment. This is also when we learn to appreciate that we, even with all of our imperfections, can help others.
