Simple yes but many struggle with it. I remember being in a small nearly two month in patient follow extension to the traditional 30 day stay I had come out of. This extended stay was not 12 step focused and had several clients there for other issues, like codependency. I remember one session but not the details, where a woman was talking about something she couldn't accomplish, that she didn't know how. I kept telling her she did and she was insisting she didn't. Then stoop up, walked over to her and held out my hand. She looked up at me and I saw the light bulbs igniting in her eyes as she smiled and said, "I can ask for help."
