Those of us living in one day at a time recovery have seen our share of tears. Some of us believe anxiety’s fears have ripped the tears out of our very souls as we felt alone. We thought we had no-one to turn to and no-where to go. It’s a terribly lonely place. For those of us who are men, we can only man-up for so long. At times life seems to be a terrifying and depressive endeavor. That is why we all need a support system. Living can be hard. Often our natural or our professional support systems will help us through such times. We know if these are just hard times because of learned experience. In such times, if we are suicidal, we turn to professional supports who have the knowledge, experience and ability to help us. When such difficulties have begun we need more help than our natural supports can give us. Some of us have learned this from experience. It’s a necessary precaution. We all need help at times and most difficulties will pass. Life is hard so we hang in there. We are worth it and we are enough. Peace.
