“I’m OK.” “I’m fine.” “Everything’s good.” It seems that we’re programmed from a young age to give a response like that when asked how we’re doing. It’s so ingrained in us that it becomes second nature, even when we are far from OK — even when our lives are falling apart. At our detox program in Sacramento, we tell people that “I’m not OK” is a perfectly acceptable answer, and the only honest answer when you are hurting and in need of help.
