Many people who struggle with substance use put off or avoid asking for help. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness—it takes courage to accept you need help and ask for it.

Asking for help can be a vulnerable and challenging experience, especially for men, but in the face of an addiction, not asking for help can lead to long-term consequences.

Here’s how to ask for help in the face of addiction:
Step #1: Fully realize your problem - Before reaching out to others, it’s important to fully come to terms with the seriousness of your addiction.

Step #2: Identify an ally - Seek out a friend, family member, or medical professional who will make a trustworthy advocate.

Step #3: Communicate with honesty - In vulnerable situations, it’s common to minimize problems to avoid embarrassment. In order to receive the help you need, complete honesty is essential.

Step #4: Accept the help you need - When faced with big changes, many find themselves overwhelmed. When asking for help it’s important to remember that change is an essential part of the recovery journey.
