Asking For Help Part Two

Photo by Sergio Larrain, Peru, 1960

Facing our shadows, who we are, who we have been, can be difficult. It's tempting to turn away and pretend that shadow isn't there. But shadows have a tendency to follow us wherever we go, so it is usually best to face them, get to know them and understand what they are trying to show us and allow them to help us grow so that they can be an asset instead of something lurking threatening to destroy us.

When my guides were talking about you finding it difficult to ask for help, I didn't understand how dire the situation is for you. I didn't understand that the difference between asking for help and not asking is life and death.

Maybe you want to die and that is your choice. Your current path of addiction will surely lead you there, shortly, if you stay on it. I can't help you with chemical addictions. You need professional, experienced help for that. You can't do it alone without assistance. All I can help you with is being a supportive friend on the journey back to living and sobriety. I can be a sober friend who isn't going to tempt you back to that lifestyle. You can't keep the same friends if you want to live a sober life. You know that. A big shift and change needs to take place in order to be successful with sobriety.

“How is being Bleu being a supportive friend?" you might wonder. He's busting your chops and not telling you only what he thinks you want to hear. Everyone around you tells you what you want to hear. He is telling you what you need to hear and shining a light on the issues you need to address. He loves you in his own prickly bad bunny way.

The bottom line is, all of us inside this vessel care about you. All of us hope you choose life and choose to get clean and sober. 

For the love of Jennifer, River, Ava....and even your father, ask for help to get sober so you don't end up like those who left too soon.

You know how to reach me should you want to.
