You've got to ask for help when you need it - it's pretty profound.
In the latest episode of LOL Sober, Nelson H. tackles the complex topic of asking for help versus offering it. The episode kicks off with an intriguing anecdote from a 12-step meeting where a question about helping others versus asking for help sparked an epiphany for Nelson and his friend.
