LIGHT TO LIGHT LOVE IN ACTION
Asking for help feels like climbing a cliff, but it’s simpler than you think—and it’s power. Start with someone safe: a sibling who won’t judge, a counselor you’ve met, or a helpline like 2-1-1—it’s free, connects you to local support. Just say, “I’m struggling, can you listen?” No script, no explaining—just that. In Will County, call Stepping Stones at (815) 744-4555; they’re built for this. Or try Gateway at (815) 553-1520—they’ll talk you through it. I knew a guy who froze at the idea of asking. One night, he texted his sister, “I’m not okay.” She sat with him, no lecture. That opened the door—he’s in recovery now. You don’t need to spill everything; one sentence starts it. If phones scare you, write it down first: “I need help.” Read it to someone. Addiction says you’re a burden; it’s wrong. People want to lift you—let them. Maybe it’s a friend who’s been there, or a voice on SAMHSA’s line at 1-800-662-4357. Asking isn’t failing; it’s fighting. You’re not weak for needing a hand—you’re strong for reaching. Take that step today; one call could change tomorrow. You’ve got this.
