“Life is slippery, here, take my hand.” –H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Life is slippery.  This is true for everyone.  It is doubly true for addicts and their partners.  We need a hand.  Thankfully, there are people willing to reach out to us.  They are in twelve step meetings, partner support groups, therapy offices, and many other places.  Recovery works better and healing is easier when we take the hands offered to us by others.

In what ways is my life slippery?  Have I accepted the help of others?  What gifts await me as I take the hands of those around me?
